Cultural Mistakes

1. Yesterday I found out I've been mispronouncing the word for water... contrary to popular American practice "su" is not "Sue".

2. My electricity was turned off today due to an error in processing my bill. Thankfully I have Turkish-speaking friends who cleared everything up.

3. At lunch I tried to ask for a take-away box and somehow ended up ordering Nescafe. I'm still not sure how that happened.
