Follow the Different Customs in Different Countries

Pay attention to the Shoes and feet

In Arab countries, soles are considered to be too much dirty. In their eyes, throwing shoes is just like throwing the garbage. Based on the Buddhists, the feet are the bottom of the body whether from physical or mental. Therefore, bare feet, even if not intentional, will be considered as an insult to others in most Asian countries.

Do not use the left hand

In the Middle East, South Asia and even some African countries, the left hand is used to clean things, therefore not to touch food or things in mall with your left hand. In India, it is related to religious, they generally use the left hand to accept gifts.

Do not insult the Royal

Just ask people who’ve been to Thai cinema, they know how respected the people treat the royal family. Before the movie started, people will watch a video about the King to show their respect. People who don’t do this will be accused, which is a strong contrast to the freedom of speech in the West.

Keep the nose quiet

In South Korea, even suction the nasal mucus gently at the dinner table will be considered to be barbarians. It is very painful for those foreigners who can’t tolerate spicy. So when you feel you will have a sneezing, find an excuse to leave and go to the bathroom. In Japan, using handkerchief in public is considered very rude.
