Tips for living in Seattle:
- In Seattle, repeated rides on the downtown underground bus system will not result in duplicate charges
- Americans consider sticking out one's tongue at someone offensive. For a child, sticking out the tongue is regarded as a cute expression, but for an adult, Americans consider it an insulting gesture
- In the U.S., be mindful of following the Western custom of ladies first
- Americans are rather sensitive about being asked private questions, especially about the age of wage earners or women, etc.
- Since each U.S. state has its own laws, and there are certain differences among them, independent travelers should pay attention to differences in local traffic regulations
