Travelling to all corners of the world gets easier and easier. We live in a global village, but this doesn't mean that we all behave in the same way.
How should we behave when we meet someone for the first time? An American shakes your hand firmly while looking you straight in the eye. In Thailand, people greet each other by pressing both hands together at the chest.
Many countries have rules about what you should and shouldn't wear. In Muslim countries, women should wear long blouses and skirts.
In Korea, you should take off your shoes when entering a house. Remember to place them neatly together where you came in.
In Spain, many people eat a light breakfast and a late dinner. In Mexico, lunch is the time to relax, and many people prefer not to discuss business as they eat. In Britain, it's not unusual to have a business meeting over breakfast.
