I don’t think we’ll break any laws or social norms (though I do not believe I need to get out of the shower if I have to pee). We’re hooking up with local expat groups online. Everything you’ve said makes sense and we definitely appreciate the advice! 🙂

The laws are easy, the social norms can be a bit tricky. :)

My mother was given a hat, since she does not wear hats she gave it to me, I wore the hat tilted to keep the sun out of my eyes, my dad received a marriage offer for me.

Apparently wearing the hat tilted to the left meant that I was looking for a husband. Since I was only 11 at the time the man understood that I was not quite ready for marriage yet but he wanted to get his son's offer in.
