I Wish...

...there was a Culture Navigation Fairy that would magically help me deal with confusing bureaucracy, tell me what's normal and what's not, what I must say and do, which queue to stand in, how to respond in unfamiliar situations, when a person is being rude and when it's just part of the culture, and encourage me at the end of each day.

Anyone know where to find one?

Annie-

Would love to include you as we orient our new apprentices in February. We do a lot of that stuff.

Locals are also good, but sometimes they forget to explain what is normal for them.
