[quote=APAULT,264761]I think the first half reflects what we do in most countries and is a fairly international 'safe list'. The warnings are useful and we should always try to remember these fine points, but I also believe these things can be exaggerated..... I feel it ie easy to overplay cultural differences. In China today, most people understand that the 'long noses' or 'white ghosts' (depending where you are) have slightly different customs, and are rarely offended if they don't know the Chinese norms. Generally, your hosts will be too courteous to be offended but as they get to know you they will start explaining. In fact, most will go out of their way to consider the foreigner's customs and habits (or what they have been taught are our habits!), even if they are totally puzzled by them![/quote]
