Etiquette: Bus, Museum, and Site

We will enjoy our studies abroad when we remember the following:

I. Site/Museum Etiquette

* be on time

* pay attention

* tall people stand in back

* circulate to let everybody get close in small spaces

* don't photograph when speaker speaks; there will be time afterwards

* treat all speakers with respect

* show appreciation to all speakers

* be prepared to wait at a site for another group to finish their visit

* never pick up and keep anything at a site, even a small sherd can be a ticket to Greek jail

II. Health/Safety

* take care of your bodies

* get plenty of sleep

* marble is slippery, even when dry

* don't walk on wet pavement if you can help it

* think about your feet: there are a lot of sharp things on the

* ground, and a lot of places to trip

* watch your step on archaeological sites; things collapse

* shoes: be sensible

* heat: watch dehydration; drink, suck on hard candies, wear head

* protection and sun screen

* food allergies, drug allergies, medication: learn the relevant Greek words in case you need to deal with any urgent situation

III. Bus

* be on it, and on time

* keep it clean and dry

* try to follow our routes on a map

* be prepared to listen to talks en route (and to sing)

IV. Schedule

All is subject to change, and much will (PANTA RHEI, 'all things flow/change')
