Sometimes good manners in one place are bad manners in another place.
Suppose 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" after you finish eating. Burping will show that you like your
food. In some 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 at all. People show their good manners by
turning their back on others while they eat.
What are good manners like in an East African town? The people try not to
see you. They are being polite. You may see a friend. He may not see you at all.
If you're polite, you will sit down beside him. You will wait until he finishes
what he is doing. Then he will talk to you.
Suppose you visit a friend in Arabia. You should walk behind the tents until
you come to his tent. If you pass in front of the other tents, you will be asked into
them. The people will ask you to eat with them. And it is bad manners if you say
no.

Jun, Korea Posted: 3 days ago | Question: First trip to the USA For my new job, I will travel to the United States next month and meet my American boss. This will be my first trip to the USA. I’m worried about correct business behavior and manners. My boss invited me to his home for dinner. Do you have any advice? Reply |
Sue, Miami Posted: 3 days ago | Re: First trip to the USA It’s a good idea to bring a small gift or something from your country. Don’t be surprised if your boss opens the gift right away. In the USA, people often open a gift when they receive it. In Korea, that is not polite, but it’s appropriate in the USA. Reply |
Sam, Los Angeles Posted: 2 days ago | Re: First trip to the USA Americans use their hands to eat some kinds of food, such as pizza and fried chicken. Watch your American hosts, and do what they do. Reply |
Kathryn, New York Posted: 12 hours ago | Re: First trip to the USA In Korea and Japan, it’s the custom to remove your shoes before entering a house. In the United States, you usually don’t take your shoes off. Once I was travelling in Japan and entered a house with my shoes on by mistake. Oops! Reply |
Lee, Korea Posted: 2 hours ago | Re: First trip to the USA Many Americans are very informal at home. One time I went to dinner at the home of an American business partner, I was surprised that everyone stood and talked in the kitchen while the husband and wife cooked dinner. Besides, unlike in Korea, everyone took part in the dinner table conversation, even the man’s wife and children. Reply |
Andrew, Washington Posted: 2 hours ago | Re: First trip to the USA I agree with Lee. I was surprised that American men often cook and that both the husband and wife come to dinner table and talk. You probably won’t speak about business during dinner, so my advice is to know some good topics of conversation. For example, you can talk about travel, food, music, or sports. Of course, it’s good to ask about your boss’s family. But it’s not polite to question about age, salary, religion, or politics. |
