Synopsis: When traveling, it's good to know the local customs.
Excerpt:
Greetings are universal customs, but they are given in many ways. In most major cities around the world, you would never say hello to strangers on the street. Greeting strangers is common in small towns, where not saying hello to everyone you pass might be considered rude. In Muslim countries, however, men and women do not speak unless they already know each other. To do so would be to commit a major etiquette mistake.
Question:
Which of the following would be considered an etiquette mistake?
- saying hello to strangers on the street in a Muslim country
- accompanying a handshake with a smile in South Africa
- shaking hands with everyone in the room in Cameroon
- asking questions about a person's health in Kenya
