We always call America the Land of the Freedom, but they are as regulated as they are free. Driving, pedestrian rules, business rules, smoking places and rules are all gathered under the same roof. These are the rules you should pay attention to the most. You are expected not to be late for work, to follow the necessary rules while driving, and to pay attention to places where smoking is prohibited.

The tax rate of each state in the USA is different. The prices written on the purchases you make are the labels without tax.
Americans love smiling people, they are friendly, they can always greet without the need to meet. They do not like physical contact very much, hugging and making jokes may be wrong for them.
