Travelling to all corners of the world is getting easier and easier. We live in a global village, but how well do we know and understand each other ? Here is a simple test. Imagine you have arranged a meeting at 4 p.m . What time should you expect your foreign business colleagues to arrive? If they are German, they ll be exactly on time. If they are American, they ll probably be 15 minutes early. If they are Bristish, they be 15 minutes late, and you should allow up to an hour for the Indians. Therefore, these are some small advice in order not to behave badly abroad. In France you shouldnt sit down in a cafard untill you are shaken hands with everyone you know.In Afghanistan you d better spend at last 5 minutes saying hello. In Pakistan you mustnt wink. It is offensive. In the Middle East you must never use the left hand for greeting, eating, drinking or smoking. Also, you should care not to admire anything in your hosts' home. They will feel that they have to give it to you.In Russia you must your hosts drink for drink or they will think you are unfriendly. In Thailand you should clasp your hands togerther and lower your head and your eyes when you greet someone. In America you should eat your hamburger with both hands and as quickly as possible.
