Designed primarily for students traveling internationally, this little 6-page guide offers some practical suggestions to help Americans bridge the cultural differences they are sure to encounter abroad. They rage from the simple (how to wave good-bye) to the more subtle (the importance of listening; differences in pace). This one should be required reading for student groups traveling abroad.
In the Classroom
Beyond its use in travel, consider using this guide in an introductory world cultures class to give students a less "American-centric" view of themselves.
