Different counttries have different cultures

It is not easy to be a successful international businessman. How to communicate with foreigners and make people trust you rewires knowledge. You need some good skills to communicate with people just us a seed needs a good gardener to plant, it so that it can grow up fast.
Different counties have different cultures. In Canada and the U.S.A .do not arrives early if you are invited to someone’s home. In Indonesia, never point to anything with your foot, in South Korea, do not pass something to an older person or superior with only one hand. In Muslim countries, do not eat with your left hand, in Samoa, do not eat with your left hand, in Samoa, do not eat when you are walking in public, and in Thailand, never touch anyone except a child on the head.
Let me take about the culture about have supper. When you come into a restaurant with a foreign lady, you would help her to take a seat and ask her which food she would like and help her to order dishes. In China, if someone invited you to his family for dinner, you may bring a small gift to his home such as fruit. If a foreigner invites you to his home for supper, and you want to go with another friend, It is manner to notice the host and tell him you will bring another friend to.
The culture about drinking wine is different too. In foreign counties, drink more or drink less wine as you like, other people can not control you. But in our country if the host call you to drink more, you must drink more, if you will do not do that, the host will feel unhappy.
There are some religions in the world, different religions have different cultures. So do as a in international businessman, you must to know more about that. If you meet with a people who is Christianity, you mustn’t say something about “13” , mustn’t take him to the NO.13th is a very unlucky number, If you have dinner with someone who is Mohammedan, you can’t order food which make up about pork, they hate eating pork very much. And Indian people look at oxes as gods, so you can’t eat beef with them.
It’s impolite to ask someone’s age in foreign countries, age is a very sensitive question’s if you ask a lady will hate you. There is a need to leave some personal space for other people. But in China , there is no such need.
If you meet people who come from foreign countries , you can’t say “ did you have supper?” the foreigner will get you wrong that you will invite him to have supper. But in China ,”did you have supper?” Just us say ”hello” it’s very common in China , when you meet some.
