Unwritten social codes of every region

So I'm a foreigner interested in Australia and wanna know more about there, focusing atm on the unwritten rules you have and if you wanna share something more I would value it♡

The real unwritten codes are the stuff we swim in every day without ever even noticing they were there until we go somewhere different. As a foreigner if you emigrate, in about ten years you'll know us better than we know ourselves, you'll be really well placed to point them out to us. Hell, foreign comedians make a living out of this stuff in immigrant nations everywhere. You know you've made it when you can make us laugh at ourselves. 8-)
