person can be highly offensive in some cultures. If you have to point something out, do so
by gesturing towards the object, with the palm of your hand flat, facing upward, and your
fingers outstretched. Before you travel, try learning some basic words or phrases of the
local language. Most useful are those that ecpress gratitude and politeness such as words
for please, thank you, and may I, as well as basic greetings.
Second, consider the main religion of the country you plan to visit and read about any taboos
related to clothing, especially if you plan to visit places that are considered sacred.
As a precaution, bring conservative clothes, such as shirts or T-shirts that cover your
shoulders, and long trousers.
Avoid topics of conversation that you think may be sensitive. If a topic is sensitive in your
in your own culture, it will more than likely be the same in other cultures. Feel free to show
interest in the history and customs of the place you are visiting, but don't ask too many
question about why things are done a certain way; you may offend the local people.
Keep in mind that in many cultures, displaying affection in public is considered taboo.
Kissing on the street or in public places is unacceptable behavior and should be avoided.
if you are unsure of how to behave, watch the local people and copy themㅡif they don't behave
in a certain way, you probably shouldn't either.
Finally, if you are traveling on business, or plan to stay with a host family, and you wish
to take a gift, do some research. the idea of the perfect gift varies greatly from country to
country, and one of the easiest ways to offend somebody is to give the wrong gift. In china, it
is taboo to give clocks and fans. The Chinese word for 'fan' has a similar sound to the word
for 'separation,' while the sound for 'clock' is similar to that of 'death.' In Japan, gifts
should never be given in sets of 'four,' as the sound of the word 'four' in Japanese is similar
to the sound of the word meaning 'death.'
the opening of gifts is also treated very diffrently around the world. In many Western countries,
do not be surprised if your hosts immediately tear the wrapping paper from a gift in great
excitement. they will then tell you how wonderful the gift is, even is they do not like it! in
most Asian countries, it is considered impolite to open gifts in front of the gift-giver for
fear of offending the person.
wherever you go in the world, always be tolerant of the local customs. Avoid being critical;
try instead to show respect for the values of the country you are in, even if you do not
necessarily agree with them.
