There are a lot of countries in the world, and in spite of the globalization process that is marching by leaps and bounds, each of them has one or another tradition of behavior. There are times when absolutely familiar things for the guests of the country are not acceptable. So how to behave so as not to cause sidelong glances from others?
1. France and Great Britain
It is absolutely indecent here to ask for money, as well as ask people questions about how much they earn.
2. Ukraine
It would be bad tone to give an even number of flowers. The only exception will be the case when you are bringing flowers to someone's grave.
3. New Zealand
It is possible to signal with a car horn only as a last resort. In all the rest, he runs the risk of being branded as a real ignoramus.
4. India
In India, it is definitely not worth touching women in public. The locals may not understand this at all, even though the tourist did it.
5. Japan
If you don't want to offend a waiter in Japan, don't tip him at all. Unexpectedly, but here it is a sign of bad taste.
6. Mexico
There is nothing extremely forbidden in Mexico. But when going to this country, remember that Mexicans are still jokers. They might sound rude, but don't take it personally. The locals just love friendly jokes.
7. Norway
Want to talk about God? Not in Norway! And in no case ask the locals how many times they go to church. Here it is considered an extremely intimate matter.
8. Turkey
Do not use the conventional “all is well” gesture with your thumb and forefinger twisted into a ring. Here this gesture is offensive.
9. Ireland
Don't even try to imitate the local accent. Irish people may not understand or appreciate this, especially Irish people you don't know.
10. Germany
You should not congratulate a person on his birthday before he comes. This is considered a bad omen among the locals.
11. Kenya
If you suddenly find yourself in Kenya, do not call people who are not your friends by name. This is extremely offensive.
12. Chile
You can eat with your hands anywhere in the world. But not in Chile. Here, this behavior will not be understood at all.
13. Singapore
If you get on public transport, under no circumstances do not eat, drink, or even chew. This is not appropriate.
14. Hungary
During feasts and toasts in Hungary, it is not customary to "clink" glasses. An attempt to do this will not be well received.
15. China
Decided to choose a gift for your Chinese friend? It doesn't have to be a watch or an umbrella. Especially if it's a birthday present.
