Re: To Non-Americans who have visited America
(Anonymous) 2013-11-08 01:44 am (UTC)(link)- Completely accurate ime. I've never heard of a 'leave by' time being set, but its generally understood that you aren't to stay at a person's house longer than a few hours at the most. (Enough time to eat your dinner and chat for a while after.) Kids are a lot less formal about going over to peoples' houses to play, but its still rude for them to show up at meal time without an invite.
- Depends on what you mean by 'parties'. People below 21 don't drink at family/work/etc. parties except for maybe a glass of champagne at weddings. But at all-kid parties they sure as hell do!
And the thing that surprised me (still surprises me!) is...
-Just how different etiquette and culture is between regions. I lived in the western US for a few years. People were very polite and reserved, calling women "ma'am" is kind of rude, and so on. But then I moved to the South and it's a completely different set of rules. I was gobsmacked the first time I ate in a southern restaurant, as the hostess and waitress seemed so rude and nosy. I'm used to 'southern hospitality' now but it took a long time.
