[2016·广东揭阳一中检测]When traveling, it's important to learn about the customs and etiquette of the global village. What we consider politeW1 behavior at home isn't always accepted outside our borders.
●Etiquette of Gift Giving
Gift giving should be a happy, positive experience. When selecting a present for someone in Netherlands, don't purchase fancy kitchen knives or scissors. Giving sharp, pointy objects as gifts is considered unluckyW2. Be careful when presenting flowers to a friend or a business partner in Russia. Yellow blooms suggest cheat or a relationship break up. Traditionally, red carnations are placed on the tombs of the dead. Writing cards or notes while visiting South Korea, be mindful of your pen's ink color. Writing a person's name in red ink traditionally suggests that the person has passed awayP1—an important point to remember when giving a birthday card.
●Eating Customs
Being early or on time is viewed as being rude, too eager or even greedyW3 in Venezuela. If you are invited to someone's home for a meal, it's recommended that you arrive 10 minutes later than the requested time.S When having a meal in Egypt, don't use the salt shaker (盐瓶). It's insulting to your host to spread salt on your food, which means that you find the meal terrible. Japan is a very polite nation, and their fondness for etiquette extendsW4 to the use of chopsticks. According toP2 Japanese custom, if you're in the middle of eating, use the opposite end of your chopsticks to secureW5 food from a shared plate. When doing business in Turkey, it's the custom for your host to pay for your meal. Requests to split the bill won't be accepted. If you would like to pay your fair share, Turks recommend inviting your host to a followup meal.
