Learning the language of a country isn't enough. If you want to know the manners of your foreign friends you will probably be surprised just how different they can be from your own.
A visitor to India should remember that people there are impolite (不礼貌) to use the left hand for passing food at table. The left hand is used for washing yourself. Also in India you might see a man shaking his head at another to show that he is disagreeing (不同意) . But in many parts of India a rotating (转动) movement of the head is to show agreement. In Bulgaria you shake your head to show “ yes ” a nod to show “ no ” .
In Europe it is quite usual to cross your legs while sitting and talking to someone even at an important meeting. But doing this could cause offence (反感) to a Thailander. Also touching the head of grown-up is just not done in Thailand.
Knowing about manners is useful when you are traveling but you need to know the language used to express for ritual (礼节) .
