This is what foreigners think about the USA
Quote:
From China:
Americans love to follow rules, even when no one is looking. ?Americans are such strict rule followers. I witnessed this once sitting on the sidelines of a high school dodge ball game. To me, it was goofy, a little violent, and very American. It struck me that my classmates followed the rules of the game so strictly. Even when no one noticed that a person had been hit and he could have kept playing, he voluntarily gave himself up and left the game. I was deeply impressed by how much people honored the rules even when they are not seen."

Do they wonder why there is so much corruption in China?

Quote:
From Russia (via Mental Floss):
Gifts are not a big deal. And did you know bribery was illegal? ?Gifts: Americans do not expect them. On the contrary, an unexpected gift while conducting business can put an American in an awkward position. Such things for Americans suggest reciprocity.
?Business gifts in the U.S. are not acceptable. Moreover, they often cause suspicion. Americans fear that they could be construed as a bribe, and in the United States that is strictly punishable by law.?

Sorry to be redundant but :1orglaugh
I guess cheating is just not a concept in communism.
Quote:
From Japan (via Mental Floss):
Watch out where you wear hip-hop clothes. ?In Japan, hip hop clothes are considered stylish. But in the United States, it is wise to avoid them, as you might be mistaken for a member of a street gang.

Translation : Americans will shoot you based on the clothes you wear.
