Good Manners The World Over

1.If you are visiting a country in the Middle east / an Arab country, you should know that some customs are quite different from ours.

When you meet your friend at the airport, you can greet each other by embracing (embrace 拥抱 ) and kissing each other.

When your host invites you to his house, you should be careful not to say that you like a painting or other thing in their house very much.

If you do that, your Arab friend will have the feeling that he should give it to you.

2.Many countries have rules about hands.

Westerners shake hands when they meet.

Americans and Europeans want to give, and get, a strong handshake.

Your hand should be strong and not soft or wet.

People in Thailand put their hand together and bow( 鞠

躬 ) their heads when they greet you.

Finally, with Indians you should never use your left hand for greeting, eating, drinking or smoking.

3. In many Western countries you can blow your nose at the table (if you turn away from the table), but perhaps it is better to excuse yourself for a moment and go to the bathroom to blow your nose and wash your hands.
