Oh, just thought of another thing that I bet a lot of you know-
In France, you kiss instead of hugging. You would figure that they'd be okay with hugging instead of kissing for friends- not so true. I tried hugging one of my friends I was staying with and because she didn't understand American culture, she backed up and looked at me like I was strange. I asked why, and all her friends and she chimed in that you only hug relatives and your significant others and my friend certainly assured me she was not "lesbienne"...herher.
