This advice was brought to the board meeting in July 2012 from the old archives of Austin friendship Force.
- Thou shalt not expect to find things as thou hast them at home, for thou left thy home to find them different.
- Thou shalt not take anything too seriously...for a carefree mind is the beginning of a joyful experience.
- Thou shalt not let the other ambassadors get on thy nerves, for thou art paying out good money to have a good time.
- Remember
thy passport so that thou knowest where it is at all times, for a
person without a passport is a person without a country.
- Blessed is he who can say "thank you" in any language, for it should be worth more to him than tips.
- Blessed is he who can make change in any language - for lo, he shall not be cheated.
- Thou shalt not worry. He that worrieth hath no pleasure, and few things are ever fatal.
- Thou shall do somewhat as the natives do; if in difficulty, thou shalt use thy common sense and friendliness.
- Thou shalt not judge the people of a country by one person whom thou hast had trouble.
- Remember thou art a guest in the land; yea, he that treateth his host with respect shall be treated as an honored guest.
