What does 'not acting like an American' look like? Actually, I am not really sure. I suppose it is the idea of being a guest in someone's home. I talk quietly, smile a lot, say "please" and "thank you" in the language I am visiting as often as I possibly can, and know a few phrases to help me get around. Probably most important is to smile at everyone to show I am having a wonderful time. I also have a rule that I follow on what I wear. If the women of the country I am visiting do not wear shorts or pants, neither do I.
