The speed and convenience of modern travel means that destinations that used to take a long time to travel to can now be reached quickly and easily. Even though the countries may now seem closer thanks to air travel, they may still different from your home country. It’s important to adapt your behavior so that you don’t insult or offend the local people. If you know the mendasar rules about communication easier, and your trip more enjoyable First, never raise your voice in order to make yourself understood.
If you don’t know the word for something in the local language, remember though that pointing directly at a person can be highly offensive in some cultures. If you have to point something out, do so by gesturing towards the object, with the palm of your hand flat, facing upward, and your fingers outstretched. Please try local language before you doing travel. Second, consider the main religion of the country you plan to visit and read about any taboos related to clothing. Avoid topic of conversation that think maybe sensitive. Feel free to show interested in the history of the place you’re visiting, but don’t ask too many about why things are done a certain way.

Keep in mind that in many cultures, displaying affection in public is considered taboos such as kissing on the street if you’re unsure of how to behave, watch the local people if they don’t behave in certain way Finally, if you’re traveling to the other countries and you wish to take a gift, do some research. In china, it is taboo to give clocks and fan.
The Chinese ‘fan it mean for separation’ and clock is similar to that of death. In Japanese should never be given in set of sound the word meaning death. The opening of gift is also treated differently round the world. In many western countries don’t be surprise if your host immediately tear writing paper from a gift in great excitement.
In most asian countries it is considered impolite to open gifts in front of giver. Wherever you go in the world, always be tolerant of the local custom and try instead to show respect for the values wherever you are.
