If you are visiting England, you will notice that English have many customs and traditions that are different from those in China．
This guide provides help for anyone visiting England for the first time．
Standing in the queue
English people like to form queue．They think it is the fair way to behave．People wait in a queue in shops and at bus stops．People will think you are very rude if you don’t join the queue．
Please, Thank You, Excuse Me and Sorry
