OK, so I didn't read every page, but I did turn every page ,but turned every page. I now know a few ways to not offend anyone, where to go to be thrilled, how to handle bots, where to buy fabric and how to let the waiter know I am done eating. I know what to definitely order and not to get on a tuk tuk.
