Some Advice For Those Attending the Olympics

The Chinese have created a booklet with advice for Beijing residents on how to act during the upcoming games:

China's Capital Spiritual Civilization Construction Commission has released a booklet instructing Beijing residents how to behave during the upcoming Olympic Games. The Scotsman newspaper reports the booklet was sent to four million households.

In it, citizens are told not to quiz tourists on religion or politics and not to wear more than three colors at a time. Handshakes should last no longer than three seconds. And pajamas should not be worn in public -- it is common for elderly Beijing residents to wear pajamas when visiting neighbors.

The guide also recommends dark socks and says that white socks should never be worn with black shoes. And when standing, one's feet should be in a V-shape.

I can think of some senior adult communities in the U.S. that could use a booklet like that (especially the white socks with black shoes part).
