Visiting Someone's Home
If you are invited to someone’s house for dinner or for a visit, you should remember to take a gift with you. This can be a cake, a box of chocolates or sweets, a bunch of flowers or a bottle of wine. If there is a small child in the family, you should also buy him or her a small gift. If you decide to take flowers, give an uneven number. You should dress casually for dinner in someone’s home. When you arrive at the house, you will be asked to remove your shoes and put on a pair of house slippers called tapki. Whenever you go to someone’s house, it’s polite to compliment the host. In Russia, though, try not to compliment anything specific because the host may want to give it to you. Also, make sure that you don’t cross your legs, so that the sole of your foot is showing or put your feet on the furniture. This is very bad manners and will offend people. When it comes to food and drink, you should never refuse anything that is offered, this is also very bad manners. Finally, don’t forget to thank your host.
