在国外理发应该注意的事项
在英美等国要理发或做头发，一般都要提前一两天打电话跟理发店预约，否则临时去只好在理发厅排队等候了。很多人不愿意光顾理发店，主要是因为收费相当昂贵，因为在西方，凡涉及到以人工工时计价的收费都要比机器工作的高出许多。理发店里的各道工序都分别收费，最后合计算账。此外还必须给小费，而且不但要给理发师或美容师小费，甚至别人给你脱递大衣、送上热毛巾等，你也得付给他们小费，理发店的小费一般为理发费的10%到35%，甚至更高。
为了节省开支，大多数西方人都自备电吹风(hair dryer)，自己整理发型。特别是女士，常常自己动手整理头发，她们的设备齐全，电吹风、电梳子、卷发器、烫发器等都一应俱全。

国内外看病的差别
在国内，有不少人去医院就诊就好像进餐馆点菜一样：“我只是感冒，配点儿感冒冲剂就可以了”。“给我服一片安乃近，睡一觉发汗就行了”。这样的做法在国外可就行不通了。感觉不适去医院就诊，不得先对医生下结论说：“I have a cold.”(我感冒了。)而必须对医生述说你的症状让医生作出判断，也不能自己点药，医生会根据你的病情开药给你。如果你自作主张，医生会认为你不尊重他，你既然自己会给自己看病，为什么还去找医生呢？

怎样应付邀请
有人邀请你，应该准时到达或在比约定时间晚5分钟或10分钟内到达。假如你到得太早或太晚则被认为是不礼貌。在美国，女主人很可能要自己下厨，她为了准备菜肴，也许要忙到入席之前。要是你可能晚到15分钟以上，应当先打电话通知女主人，告诉她你什么时候可以到。她会为你的仔细周到，为你给她打电话而感激你。

英美国家的银行
在英美国家，银行是一个非常发达的行业。其数量之多，效率之高，服务范围之广，无不给人留下深刻的印象。由于电脑已运用于各项银行业务，加之全国各地银行分行或办事处的电脑信息是互通的，储户可在全国各地同一名称银行支行办理各项银行业务手续。这自然与我国的国情不同，储户无须在原开立账户的某个特定储蓄所办理各项手续。因此，你如在英美国家外出时，便无需随身携带大笔现金。只需将你的存折或银行信用卡(credit card)随身带上，便可随时随地存取现款，既安全又方便。此外，几乎所有的银行都设有自动存取机(auto bank)。这种机器，银行门口、各个主要大街、地铁站、超级市场旁，到处都有。使用这种自动存取机你一般只需10多秒时间便可以办完取钱手续离去。这对于学习负担繁重、外汇数量有限而又需合理开销的中国留学人员来说，可省去许多麻烦。

美国的邮政服务
美国国内的邮件，除了同一市内或近距离的递送以外，几乎都是航空邮件，所以不必再多写Airmail(航空信件)。
邮票可以由自动贩卖机购得。若在百货公司或超级市场的自动贩卖机购买则要贵一些。
重要的书籍文件，请以挂号(Certified Mail或Registered Mail)寄送。寄Certified Mail的过程为：在邮件上贴上绿色的小纸片，由收件人签名，再将该纸片送还寄件人核对，使其获知对方已确实收到。
如果在附近没有邮局，可将要寄的邮件放在自家信箱中，把信箱旁的旗标竖起，等邮递员来时，请他带走。如搬家，可到邮局填一张地址迁移卡，邮局会直接将你的信件送到你的新地址。

住宾馆应注意的一些细节
中国人常说：“在家千日好，出外时时难。”其实商务旅游期间，你若能事先知道一些居住上的细节，一定也能“处处为家、日日好”。
首先，在你住进旅馆之前，请注意两个词：
(1)电梯——在美加地区叫elevator；英国人则称之为lift。
(2)一楼——在美国叫main floor或first floor；在英国则说成ground floor，因此美语中的first floor，在英国则指二楼。
在西方，还有一项比较迷信的惯例，就是各饭店都不设第13楼，因为他们认为“13”是个不吉利的数字。这和中国人对“4”的忌讳心态是一样的。
此外，房间格局也必须在订房时就搞清楚：
(1)单人房叫single room；双人房叫double room；不过twin room也是双人房，只不过是房内有一张双人床的那一种。
(2)family room则是家庭式房间，能容纳4张以上的床具，商务旅客大概很少会用到。倒是套房(suite)，宽敞舒适，又附带小客厅，可能是最适合商务人士的选择。

美国的警察
除负责调查违反联邦法律的联邦调查局以外，美国没有全国性的警察部队。警察是市或地方一级的机构。警察局长这一职是选举产生的。当然对违章和执法的概念在某些方面各州之间有所不同，但任命的条件、训练、职责、工资和晋级等标准是相似的。
大部分新征来的警察执行巡逻任务。巡逻警察可能分派到拥挤的商业区、边远的居民区或同一区的某些地段地巡逻。他们可能单独或者和其他巡逻警察一起按一定的路线巡逻，有时开车，有时步行。巡逻警察也监视被偷的汽车的动态，加强执行交通规则。他们还要写报告汇报他们的活动情况，如果案件需要按法律程序审理，他们有可能被传到法庭作证。

打电话的开篇问候
当你拿起话筒用英语打电话时，开头打招呼的第一个词便是Hello。Hello不像中文中的“喂”可以连喊几声，挂电话打招呼时，只要说一次就够了。紧接着可自报姓名，告诉对方你是谁，并告知想与某人通话。例如：Hello，this is John Li speaking.May I speak to Mr.Osborne，please？喂，你好，我是李约翰，我能和奥斯本先生讲几句话吗？
