I wonder what our non-American friends think of this stuff. Do you find it accurate? I'd love to hear some opinions.

I read some information similar to this about Chinese people before going to China, and found much of it to be inaccurate.

I'm always fascinated by cultural and travel guides about America for foreigners. It's so interesting to see how Americans are seen by others and it see what "ordinary" manners, beliefs, customs, and practices are amazing to non-American eyes! I can certainly see where people around the world think of all Americans as rich. The culture shock for someone from an extremely poor country must be staggering when they visit America...

This seems indeed to be written for aliens. Most things are so similar to european culture or probably common to all western cultures that they would not be worth mentioning.

I like the "vulgar gesture" warning (page 13) :)
