Ah, back when I first went to the big city for the first time, there were many things that were hard to adapt to.

For example, here we say a dish is "" (salty/bland) but we don't say "", we say "@E1@" (sweet/leisure).
Expensive/cheap we say "@E2@" (expensive) "@E3@" (cheap) (cheap=inexpensive)
"Thank you" - almost nobody says it. After someone helps you, you have to say "okay, alright, thanks for the trouble," especially this one - after someone helps me, I often just say "okay, okay" and then I get criticized for being impolite, ugh.
This stuff is really tricky to figure out.
It gets better after you get used to it though.
