When you go to fast food restaurant such as McDonalds or Subway, you would be asked 'For here or to go'. That means, whether you would like to sit in the restaurant and eat food or would like it to get packed and take it with you.

You should not walk or sit with arms around shoulders of any person of the same gender, no matter how close friend he/she is, else people might mistakely think about you that you are 'Gay' or Lesbian'.

You would not generally find public restrooms in most places. And of course, you can not pee on the road or on the wall!

However, you can use the restroom of any store, gas station or mall. Shop owners would generally not refuse to let you use their restroom.

At many places like gas station, restroom is locked. You have to ask the attendant for the key. Small key is usually attached to huge key chain or wooden rod. You have to use that key to unlock the restroom and when you are done, you have to return that key to the attendant.

In front of Americans, you should never talk in your native language as they don't like it because they don't understand it and therefore they think you might be hiding something from them.

Normally there are very few pedestrians on most roads in USA. Therefore, the traffic signal system may not automatically provide 'Walk Signal' to pedestrian as it may not be most efficient thing to do due to lack of pedestrians most times.

If you would like to cross the road, look for the 'button' to push and after some time, walk signal will be indicated with white color hand. You can safely cross the road at that time as oncoming traffic would have been stopped before that.
