It is a sign that you can follow it. What else can we not understand in life?
The United States are so different from us.
After university, after entering university. After graduation, they still look askance: traditionally, after 25 years is not normal. However, this trend has recently shaken.It is not even the financial problems of the parents of adult children.
Their parents don't owe anything to their children.
Parents' money is not considered in the US . For example, during his studies, he received money during his studies.
Paid holidays are rare. Yes, it’s usually lasts from 5 to 15 days. The list of official holidays includes only the largest holidays, such as Christmas and Independence Day.A paid vacation lasts only 15 days a year. Yes, and that many share ... by the hour!
Knock on each They other
If, having glanced in cafe, you will not find a hall for smokers, you should not get a lighter and cigarettes. Make it out. But many will complain to the manager. It is not clear that it has been a collectible day while it is not a resident Seattle. It even happens to be a student who violates his misconduct.It is a person who follows to follow.
They think first of all about themselves.
An American can beat himself in the chest, vowing to help in case of trouble, but when this help is needed, he will do first of all in the way that is more profitable for him. Before the threat of flooding, he may promise to take you away from the ocean tomorrow morning. In the morning, call and say that the plans have changed and it is more convenient for him to go with relatives. In the US, it is customary to think first of all about yourself and your family.
Interestingly, as early as the beginning of the 20th century, when the correspondents of Pravda newspaper Ilya Ilf and Yevgeny Petrov visited the USA, they were amazed at the ability of the Americans to keep their word. Once, during a conversation with writer Ernest Hemingway, journalists noticed that they would like to visit Sing-Sing prison, which was distinguished by a very strict regime. It turned out that Father Ham's father-in-law is familiar with the warden and promised to contribute. Ilf and Petrov did not pay attention to it, but a day later, the writer's father-in-law reported that the matter was settled and correspondents could inspect Sing-Sing any day.
They do not celebrate birthdays
Two friends can communicate more than one year and not know when each other's birthday. If in childhood heppibers with guests and a huge cake is a fairly common phenomenon, then, having grown up, many Americans do not even voice when they were born. If, nevertheless, an American wants to celebrate his birthday, he will not invite guests home, but will gather friends and go with them to a restaurant where a birthday drink will be purchased or a bill paid for dinner. Congratulating colleagues here is also not accepted, although there are exceptions. For example, at Google, an employee receives an hour of free massage on his birthday.
They know the value of money.
At first glance it may seem that Americans are greedy and mercantile. In fact, they just know the price of money. This Russian is ready to take everything from the store shelves that you like, and then be surprised at the amount received at the checkout. At the same time, much of what they bought may not be required at all, just sold at a discount. Americans are not like that. However, they have a reason.
$ 9,000 is the average cost of tuition at a state college with the exception of room and board (2016/2017 academic year).
$ 33,000 is the average cost of tuition at a private college, with the exception of room and board (2016/2017 academic year).
10-50 dollars - surcharge for a visit to the doctor with medical insurance.
160–315 dollars - a monthly payment for one person’s Kaiser Permanente HMO type health insurance.
4 dollars - a cup of cappuccino in Miami.
$ 15 is a trip to a cheap Los Angeles restaurant.
$ 3,000 - monthly rental of a one-bedroom apartment in downtown New York.
Salaries, although vary from state to state and from profession to profession, are on average not so huge. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in the fourth quarter of 2016, the average salary in the United States was $ 849 per week ($ 758 for women and $ 927 for men).
They don't do someone else's work.
The American will not lie under the car, trying to figure out the cause of the engine malfunction, and will cause a tow truck to take it to the auto repair. It is unlikely that he will decide to bake pizza on his own - there is a pizzeria for that. Of course, if it is not frozen pizza, which you only need to warm up. Residents of the country prefer not to occupy their time with what can be paid, and entrust the problem solving to professionals. They believe that everyone should do what he does best.
They don’t complain
To the question “How are you?” It’s not a problem.It is not customary to talk about their problems. You can only share positive emotions. A smile - a signal of well-being. If an American smiles, then everything is fine with him. Therefore, it was decided to smile and greet even with strangers. They prefer to get on with their psychologists.
