Question

4．Learning the language of a country isn't enough．If you want to ensure a pleasant visit，find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of your hosts．
Sometimes good manners in one place are bad manners in other places．If you are a visitor in the land of Mongolia，some friends ask you to eat with them．What kind of manners do they want you to have？They want you to give a loud"burp"（打嗝） after you finish eating．Burping would show that you liked your food．But in some other countries，if you give a loud burp，you are told to say"Excuse me，please．"
In many places，people like to eat together．But in some parts of Polynesia it is bad manners to be seen eating together．People show their good manners by turning their backs on others while they eat．
You will probably be surprised just how different they can be from your own．A visitor to India would do well to remember that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table．The left hand is supposed to be used for washing yourself．Also in India，you might see a man shaking his head at another to show that he doesn't agree．But in most parts of India，a shake of the head is a gesture that expresses agreement or acceptance．Nodding your head when you are offered a drink in Bulgaria is likely to leave you thirsty． In that country Bulgaria，you shake your head to mean"yes"-a nod means"no"．
In Europe it is quite usual to cross your legs when you are sitting talking to someone，even at an important meeting．Doing this when you are meeting an important person in Thailand，however，could cause offence．It is considered too informal an attitude for such an occasion．Also try to avoid touching the head of an adult-it's just not done in Thailand．
Attitudes to women vary much around the world．In Japan，for example，it is quite usual for men to plan evening entertainments for themselves and leave their wives at home．
Knowing about customs and attitudes is useful when you are traveling，but you also need to know the language used to express different degrees of formality（礼节）．
