I | THOU SHALL NOT EXPECT TO FIND THINGS AS THOU HAST THEM AT HOME, FOR THOU HAST LEFT THY HOME TO FIND THINGS DIFFERENTLY. |
II | THOU SHALL NOT TAKE ANYTHING TOO SERIOUSLY....A CAREFREE MIND IS THE BEGINNING OF A GOOD VACATION. |
III | THOU SHALL NOT LET OTHER TOURISTS GET ON THY NERVES, FOR THOU ART PAYING OUT GOOD MONEY TO ENJOY THYSELF. |
IV | THOU SHALL NOT WORRY. HE WHO WORRIETH HAST NO PLEASURES....AND FEW THINGS ARE EVER FATAL... |
V | THOU SHALL NOT FORGET THAT THOU DOST REPRESENT THY COUNTRY AT ALL TIMES. |
VI | REMEMBER THY PASSPORT, SO THAT THOU KNOWEST WHERE IT IS AT ALL TIMES. A MAN WITHOUT A PASSPORT IS A MAN WITHOUT A COUNTRY. |
VII | BLESSED IS THE MAN WHO CAN SAY ‘THANK YOU” IN ANY LANGUAGE. THIS IS WORTH MORE TO HIM THAN TIPS. |
VIII | WHEN IN ROME, DO AS THE ROMANS DO. IF IN DIFFICULTY USE THY FRIENDLINESS AND COMMON SENSE. |
IX | DO NOT JUDGE THE PEOPLE OF A COUNTRY BY ONE PERSON WITH WHICH THOU HAST HAD TROUBLE. |
X | REMEMBER, THOU ART A GUEST IN EVERY LAND. HE WHO TREATETH HIS HOST WITH RESPECT SHALL BE TREATED AS AN HONOURED GUEST... |
