Changing times

Hi everyone from around the world. Normally the pages from wikipedia I link from here are random. However this is not the case for this entry. Today I embarrassed myself by saying faux pas just as it looks, instead of saying foe par. Of course no one knew what I was saying which I think is sad since you should be able to conclude what I meant.

Anyway, this blog is read by people from 12 different countries. Since there is a chance that you readers might come to NZ one day, I thought I would give you a head's up on our (& apparently Australia's) faux pas. (this is a different link from the first one).

Don't request for a fanny pack. Of course, I think this would apply to all english speaking countries since it means arse. In fact, I think arse pack sounds better than fanny pack. This rule goes double for guys, cause if guys say fanny, they are gay (the exception to this rule is of course if you're gay).

It's rude to board public transport before passengers get off. This rule doesn't seem to apply that much anymore because you often see people trying to squeeze past some idiot that gets on and doesn't move out of the way. They act like a fucking deer on the road when that happens and just watch them struggle. Fuck them. (The 2 swear words highlights that this is in fact, foe par, so it shouldn't be done even though you may see it being done). This rule should also apply to everywhere in the world.

No tipping. The only exception to this rule is if there is a tip jar, then you can tip if you want. I've been offered a tip before and it was weird. This is explained on the inflight guide just before you land and is mentioned in most NZ travel guides. So please don't do it..

"Bring a plate," doesn't mean bring a plate to fill with food at the party. It means bring a plate with food on it.

If there's some foe par in your country that contradicts these ones, please share. Reading this and not commenting is foe par.
