Bad habits I picked up in Asia:

1. Leaving the whole basket of supermarket shopping on the conveyor belt and expecting the checkout girl to unload it, scan it and pack it
2. Using exclamation marks in copy. They’re almost compulsory in Asia, but not really the done thing here
3. Using the word “rewarding” – although I’ve managed to avoid “indulge”, which is the first refuge of the Asian copywriting scoundrel.
