Yes

I remember reading one of the guides created by an American University to their foreign student

It goes in such excruciating details to things like dating, etc

I suppose this is for the benefit of students from some forgotten city in southeast asia that may think of getting a goat to impress the ladies

Still, it sounds awfully patronizing sometimes.



It might be because the things that you find obvious, simply aren't so obvious all around the world.


Of course, I just found it funny and as I said patronizing.

They gave the guide to me as part of an interculturality course.
