The Pickaderians are extremely sesitive to symbols, so avoid actively making a cross, circle, cross-in-a-circle, square, square-in-a-circle, circle-in-a-square, cross-in-a-square or a cross-in-a-circle-in-a-square with your hands, feet or silverware, as these are all thought to be bad omen buy these highly superstitous people. Despite these precautions, you may find one or all of these symbols appearing in your gravy at dinner. Pay it no mind, as the Pickaderians can only eat with their eyes closed. Just be sure you plate is clean after desert. It is suggested to bring Professor Snugglesworth, the ship's terrier, along for this purpose.

When dealing with the Sinseslions, keep your replies down to simple, one-syllable phrases, as they believe verbal communication to be a waste of breath that should be used for action. Carry along a hatchet, so that when you are moved to speak at length, you can instead hack at the "diatribe post," a wooden column they have erected so that foreign dignitaries and poets can "get the words out of their system."
