It is also important to consider some features of foreign countries. For example:

* In many countries of the world smoking in public places is forbidden, or smoking in the places which are specially taken away for this purpose is authorized. For example, the ban on smoking in bars and restaurants is entered in such countries as Belgium, Ireland, New Zealand, Finland, Denmark, Iceland, Lithuania, Norway, Sweden. The similar ban works in some territorial districts of Australia, Great Britain and the USA.

* In the USA the principle of equality between women and men is strictly observed, and sometimes manifestation of familiarity or innocent flirtation (as it seems to you) of you in relation to females can cause judicial proceedings.

* In Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Austria strict observance of rules and laws is accepted. At violations of the rules of traffic anonymous calls to police from the German citizens are frequent. The parking in the forbidden places threatens at best with a penalty, in the worst - the wrecker.

* In China, the country with rich history and culture, it is always necessary to remember observance of local customs and traditions.

Chinese don't like to speak "no", diligently being at loss for words for more veiled and evasive answer which can be often simply unclear to the representative of other culture.

It is impossible to pat on a back, to swing hands, to tap with a fist of one hand up to a palm another as all this is considered unacceptable.

* In India instead of habitual handshake Indians welcome guests with a traditional greeting to "namasta" (or "namaskar") - two palms pressed one to another at the level of a breast. It, however, doesn't exclude the subsequent handshake.

At a gift choice for the Indian partner it is necessary to avoid products from beef skin as the cow in India is a sacred animal.

During communication Indians quite often shake the head here and there that it is necessary to consider as gesture of approval and satisfaction, but not denial. To sit, having crossed the legs, during conversation it is considered disrespectful in relation to the interlocutor. * In Thailand it is necessary to be respectful to the Buddhism and its traditions. At an entrance to the temple or the house of Thais it is necessary to rent footwear on a threshold. The same should be done everywhere where it is done by Thais.

To speak about the King and members of royal family follows yours faithfully. These are the people who are deeply respected by Thais and any scornful phrase or gesture in relation to them are perceived as a personal insult.

* Though Turkey is also the secular country, provisions of the Koran are observed in this country rather strictly. In sacred month Ramadan isn't recommended to use any food or drinks in public places, to smoke and chew chewing gum. Out of tourist zones it is undesirable to wear shorts and undershirts.
