you dont need a telephone to get a taxi

babes huff and puff a lot

you must learn to rush for almost everything. there's always the impression that you are a slacker if you dont rush

things are better when they are disorganised

be very good at using slangs, you could make more friends

never be too formal

expect power outages without notification

learn how to cleverly offer tips to government official, else you may spend all day at their office without getting anything done about your file.
