Different countries have different customs. When you travel to other countries, please respect(尊重) their customs, just as the saying goes: When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

Very often people who travel to the United Sates forget to tip (付小费). It is usual to tip those who help carry your bags, taxi drivers and waiters. Waiters expect to get a 15% tip on the cost of your meal. So do the taxi drivers.

In England, make sure to stand in line even if there are only two of you. It's important to admire lines there. It's a good idea to talk about the weather. It's a favorite subject of a conversation with the British.

In Spain (西班牙), people have dinner very late and restaurants do not generally open until after 9 pm. It's a good idea to have a light meal in the afternoon if someone invites you for dinner. In this way, you may not feel too hungry at the table.

In Japan, people usually give personal or business cards to each other when they meet for the first time. When a person gives you a card, don't put it into your pocket right away. The person expects you to read it.

A kind of body language is acceptable in one culture. Maybe it is impolite in another. So don't forget to be careful of your body language to express something in conversation.
