A Foreign Visitor’s Survival Guide to America

FVSGCoverScanFor the foreign visitor to America, cultural misunderstandings are inevitable during your first weeks in the country. A Foreign Visitor’s Survival Guide to America can help you:  * assume an American accent in a jiffy * deal with words like “widget” * know when to snuff out that cigarrette * avoide making a faux pas at the dinner table *rent a car, an apartment, and furniture * interpret American humor and street directions * develop good relations with your landlord, roommate, professor, or boss * find a doctor *avoid con artists.

The authors are  an East-Indian Canadian who arrived in America ten years ago and an American researcher who collaborated to interview foreign visitors, students, immigrants and business trainees from all over the world to bring you this valuable guide to living in the United States.
