When i first came to the US of A my aunt came up to me and ask me on the first day if i wanted to eat Hot Dog? My response was "I don't eat dog!" Everyone started laughing!! I was so embarased!
Also, when I first came here I went to have shower. I took of all my clothes got in the tub confused about what to do. I turned some knob in the tub and the water came running from the shower mouth. I was so freakin scared that I ran from the tub and ran downstairs naked. At that time I was 13 and all my family members that were there all started laughing at me and I became the joke of the day!

we went to a chinese restaurant with my uncle and his akata wife, he ordered an fried rice with two sides of orange chicken. So just like we do back home, I tried to seperate the meat from the rice so I can eat the rice first and the chicken later. But he went ahead and told me in front of his wife to eat both the rice and the chicken together, and we will order more chicken if I wanted more. Being so embarassed, I told him that that was how I wanted to eat it, and he snapped and said; "u havent had chinese food before, so I tell u how to eat it without embarassing yourself not the other way round",,,,,,,Boy I felt like digging a hole and climbing right in |

here is one of ma friend's experience, infact, it was at da airport
At the airport, she went to the washroom and finished using it and once she stood up, da toilet automatically flushed itself, immediately, she ran away shouting, lol
ALSO
another one finished using da washroom, went to wash her hand, finished doing so and wanted 2 dry her hand, instead of her 2 put her hand, she put her hair because it was written DRYER so she figured itz for the hair, lol

My experience was getting off a busy bus during rush hour .I was trying to get off the same door i entered the bus from. People looked at me like i was on drugs. I still forced my way out through the front door and people were staring at me from the window and shaking their heads. My my!!! I wish i had taken a class on "dos and don't's" when you arrive the USA.

Mine was back in the early 90s. Me and my friend were walking hand in hand on a major street in Chicago. We noticed that people were starring at us but did not think much of it. When I got home and asked my uncle why people were starring at us, he burst out laughing explaining to me that people thought we were gay partners. I wished the ground had opened up and swallowed me that moment  |

When i first came to the US, i wanted to use the dishwasher in my apartment so i got some dishwashing liquid (the type that you use to hand wash plates) and poured it into the dishwasher. I came out a few miuntes later to see a river of soap all over my kitchen floor. That's how i learnt that there is a type of soap meant specifically for the dishwasher.

My experience was right after I cleared customs and immigration at JFK. I called a cab to take me to Mount Vernon and the cab driver was Jamaican. He started a conversation and I guess he figured from my accent that I was Nigerian. He wanted to confirm his suspicion and he therefore asked if I was really a Nigerian. I proudly said yes. He started laughing and he said "another bank robber has arrived" That shocked the hell out of me. I tried to explain to him that not all Nigerians are criminals but he wasn't having any of my sermon. He said, "you're right"

The first time i was to come over to the US. was to school. I thought it would be so different and i would be so different from the rest. Luckly for me i came into D.C and M.D. where they were alot of Nigerians. I experienced love and acceptance and i've never had a bad experience and i hope i never will. |

A friend of mine went to a club and brought a white girl home and slept with her that night
In the morning we find out it was a man not a girl.
we beat the man and he ran out of the house for his life
I ask my friend why he never notice it was a man
he said the girl told him to turn off the light and she assisted him to put it inside because it was dark,

OMG.  Let your friend know that he is gay by the virtue of the fact that he laid a guy. Disgusting. Was he drunk? |

Your friend is gay! even if you are drunk you are experiencing something you've never felt before. Mad men don't run into burning houses even though they are nut cases |

on getting to the cashiers stand with many people behind me,d nylon tore n all d pennys fell on the floor,children at d store played some funny tricks n hid some of the pennies under d table so i had 2 search every where 2 find d missing pennies n this took me forever.d bad news was that d pennies did not complete 1pound so i had 2 leave d shop after all my stress with nothing n i had practically every 1ce attention diverted towards me pointin n starring at me as i left d shop with my coins almost in tears

I goofed twice. Beckley's a small city so I asked the RA on my floor for the way to a shop. She drew a map for me showing how to get to Walmart, assuming I had a car.
I walked like forever until a kindly lady stopped and gave me a ride. I was so tired I simply didn't care about riding with a stranger. Besides, she was very old and weak.
Inside Walmart, after shopping. . . did you know I'm totally clueless when it comes to directions? I always get lost the first time I go somewhere on my own but can find my way the second time.
As I was saying, can you believe I spent two hours trying to find my way out of Walmart?
