Everywhere in the world there are different ways of behaving. When we meet someone, everything we say and do expresses our cultural background. So if you want to get on with someone from another culture, it helps to understand something about these differences.
Even how we stand depends on our culture. English people talk to each other at an average“ (平均的) distance of 130 cm, while Italians chat at an average distance of 80 cm. So Italians can think that English people are unfriendly because they stand too far away! And English people can think that Italians are too close.
Touching is also cultural. The Frenchmen touch much more than Americans do. A French couple may touch 100 times in half an hour while an American couple may only touch twice! And French teenagers touch each other much more than American teens.
Canada
If you are invited for a meal, you should arrive on time-not early or late.
Indonesia
Never point to anything with your foot.
France
When eating out, keep both hands on or above the table.

Different countries have different customs in giving presents.
In China you must never give a clock to a Chinese person，because the pronunciation of the word for“clock”in Chinese is similar to the pronunciation of“death”. Also，don't wrap a present in white，black，or blue paper，because they are the colors for funerals. Don't give a knife，because something sharp can cut a friendship.
In Russia if you give flowers as presents，you have to give an odd. number of them（one，three，five，etc. ）because even numbers of flowers are for funerals.
In Germany if you are invited to dinner，flowers are good presents to take to your dinner hostess，but don't take her red roses because it means you are in love with her. Don't take thirteen of anything because it's an unlucky number. Don't take an even number of anything，either. Don't wrap your presents in white，brown，or black paper.
