    • Studying abroad, or simply planning a nice trip to an exotic location? Unfortunately, while people might be understanding
    • if you have problems with their language, they are less likely to be forgiving if you break the unwritten social rules. Did you know, for example,
    • that in Japan it is considered rude to blow your nose in public \(and heaven forbid you put your cotton handkerchief back in your pocket\!\)? You might also be
    • studying \(and socialising\) with people from all over the world. A few helpful tips will ensure you avoid upsetting your hosts, or even your fellow students! The best advice
    • we can give you is to learn some of the local customs of the people you will be spending time with. Let’s say you have arrived in Asia and you’re sharing a meal
    • with new-found friends. You might feel very satisfied with yourself if you can use chopsticks when you’re eating, but make sure you don’t point with them. Many Asians consider it
    • rude. And don’t forget to check who should start the meal first: you or your hosts. Different countries have different ‘rules’ about this. Speaking of food, when eating in certain provinces of

    • with the right hand and they might consider you impolite if you use your left. But if you are given a business card in a country like Singapore, and you don’t accept it with both
    • hands, you’ll be showing disrespect and a lack of interest in the person giving the card. In Britain, shaking hands is common between business people but is becoming less common in social situations these
    • days \(and then often only the first time you are introduced\).
      The Italians kiss and shake hands \(but be careful, it’s twice – once on each cheek\), the Belgians may kiss three
    • times, alternating from cheek to cheek, and the French? Well, whole books have been devoted to the subject!
