In Englandthree foreign gentlemen came to a bus stop. They studied the information on the post sign and decided which bus to take. About five minutes later the bus they wanted came along. They prepared to get on. Suddenly people rushed onto the bus and tried to push them out of the way. Someone shouted insulting remarks about the foreigners. The bus conductor came rushing down the stairs to see what all the trouble was about. The three foreign gentlemen looked puzzled and ashamed. No one had told them about the British custom of lining up for a bus so that the first person who arrived at a bus stop is the first person to get on the bus.
Learning the language of a country isn't enough. If you want to ensure a pleasant visit, find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of your hosts. You will probably be surprised just how different they can be from your own. A visitor toIndiawould do well to re?member that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table. The left hand is supposed to be used for washing yourself. Also in India, You might see a man ap?parently shaking his head at another and assume(認為) that he is disagreeing. But in many parts of India a rotating(旋轉) movement of the head is a gesture that express agreement or accept?ance. Nodding your head when offered a drink inBulgariais likely to leave you thirsty. In that country, you shake your head to express "yes"― a nod means "no".
In Europe it is quite usual to cross your legs when sitting，talking to someone，even at an important meeting. Doing this when meeting an important person in Thailand, however,could cause offence(冒犯) .It is considered too informal an attitude for such an occasion. Also when in Thailand avoid touching the head of an adult― it's just not done.
Attitudes to women vary considerably around the world. In Japan, for example, it is quite usual for men to plan evening entertainments for themselves and leave their wives at home.
