• Some advice in Arab countries
• When you meet your friend at the airport, you can
  greet each other by embracing and kissing each
  other.

2. When your host invites you to his house you
should be careful not to say that you like
something in their house . Otherwise, they will
feel that they should give it to you.
3. Dont embrace Arab men if you are a female.
And dont embrace Arab women if you are a male.
60
About hands
1. Americans and Europeans want to give, and get
a strong handshake. Your hand should be strong
and not soft or wet.
2. People in Thailand put their hands together
and bow their heads when they greet you.
3. With Indians you should never use your left
hand for greeting, eating, drinking or smoking.
61
Blowing your nose or spitting?
In many Western countries you can blow your
nose at the table( if you turn away from the
table), but perhaps it is better to excuse
yourself for a moment and go to the bathroom to
blow your nose and wash your hands.

Bad manners in Western countries
1. Ask women how old they are
