5 Golden Rules

By now, I feel that the first steps of integration have been accomplished.
As for now, I have learned five Golden Rules which I think are wise to be observed in Kiwiland, particularly if you come from the German culture:

1. Learn to live human relationship in the given moment, and be slow to dig deep in any sense.

2. Be willing to participate, and to give a hand. Consider this as a single rule.

3. Never boast or show off. Be modest.

4. Do not expect open critique. Learn to read between the lines.

5. Behave likewise toward others, be always polite.
