- Are you allowed to cross against the light? I don't know the answer to this. I mean some cities are pretty strict. People seem to cross against the light but not always. I don't know what the right answer is but usually I just do what my dad always tells me to do and I "keep up with the flow of traffic".
- Are you allowed to cross outside of the crosswalk? Refer to the previous example.
- I was in a shoe store last weekend and the shoe boxes were all out for what I assumed was for you to take. When I took the size of the shoe I wanted the woman came up to me and started taking the shoe out of the box for me. Now she was saying something to me but of course I had no idea so I was not sure if I was doing something wrong or if she was just being helpful.
- Last weekend I received a phone call from the reception and she was saying something about pulling the door closed (she was speaking English) when I leave...or so I thought. So I began making sure the door was closed. Monday morning I am walking out the door (which I have to put my key in to get out) and Paolo begins speaking very rapidly to me in Italian. He explains to me (I got most of the meaning through his actions) by taking the key out of my hand and shaking his head no. He pushes a button on the wall and magically the door opens! Then of course he goes outside and shows me that I have been wrongly putting my key in the door to open it and instead I should be putting it in the key slot on the wall. How was I supposed to know?
For now those are all the things I can think of but I'm sure I'll come up with more!
