There are unwritten rules that people are supposed to know without anyone ever telling them what they are and how they work. A micro narration in a minute or so.
TRANSCRIPT
I’m sorry. I am really sorry. I didn’t mean to. I don’t know, it would be great if there were an instruction manual that they give you when you migrate to a new country, you know, just a page, something, with all the rules that you are supposed to know when you arrive to a new place. Not the official stuff, but the unwritten rules, those that locals don’t even realise that they are rules because that’s what they have been doing since forever, that’s all they know. Like fish that don’t have the concept of water. But they are the most important rules, those that they expect you to know from day one, and everybody gets really upset if you do not follow them, and you cannot follow them because no one ever told you. I am sorry, I really am, but how was I supposed to know that it is forbidden to touch the bread at the bread shop?
