Wow. I think the videos of the different countries and how they drive are very interesting. When crossing the street at the same pace, I would be way to scared that someone wasn't paying attention or didn't time their speed right. And India was a mess! Cars were just trying to overpower their right a way w/ them all turning right at one time. It's all in hope that the cars will let them pass, and not hit them. All cultures have these unspoken rules, and I think that's the hardest part of understanding them. I want to be able to visit a lot of cultures in the future, and i wouldn't want to defend anyone by something that's accepted in our culture. If only there was a way to decode this secret language of every culture. In those traveling language decoders, they should add in what gestures mean.

I agree with you that the hardest part of understanding another culture is its unspoken rules. Whenever I travel, I always try to be as conscious of them as possible, but it's hard. I agree, that there should be some way of finding them out so people won't get offended by visitors or when they're visiting. As of now, I think people just need to try and be as understanding as possible.
