Перевод A. All countries have unwritten but important rules of behaviour, which can only
be explained by the people who live in that country. But they can act different

Do they? Sometimes they do. But life is not that ceremonious. So I can give you
only general advice. No rules. We remember that foreigners don't know our ways,
and as long as you are friendly and polite from the heart we don't mind that
you behave a bit strangely.

And we are sometimes not sure how to act and can't tell you how to act in this
or that situation. You may find out that, in answer to questions, we often
answer, "Well, it depends.
