Simply hugging is considered TABOO in countries such as KOREA AND JAPAN especially with the older generations. So if that's considered a TABOO can you imagine what it woould mean to kiss someone.  BTW ,,, I work in the USA and kissing is/can be considered SEXUAL HARRASSMENT.

Aren't the French in chronic revolution? Strikes are the norm. Nightly car burnings are the norm (not even counting the recent Muslim commotion). It's a highly unstable culture, glad I'm not there (the few days I spent in Paris were more than enough for me).

Good question ! I believe nothing of what I'm told, 50% of what I read. I used to commute daily from USA into Mexico and back (job), I tried to be as well or better informed than the customs people were. The ones with an attitude would hold me up even though they new me, just to be @s*holes.

Yes, it is normal, but some guys think it is disgusting and don't like it. Don't get into trouble by staying away from such kind of behavior.

Many Americans (or Westerners in general, for that matter) have no experience with the 'proper' table manners of other nations.  I was raised in a British family, so I have distinctly European table manners that seem very strange to Americans, who eat with their forks in their right hand.\n\nMany of us have never seen a Chinese family eating with correct table manners, so we have no way to learn.  \n\nThe worst example I've found is during one of my trips to America; a family was using chopsticks for the first time, and had never seen such food or utensils before.  They did not know what to do with large pieces of food, so they did the best they could to force enormous chunks of meat into their mouths, chewing with their mouths wide open.\n\nI was fortunate enough to have a Chinese aunt, who taught me the etiquette of eating with chopsticks, but we have to consider that there are people that do not know anyone that has ever been taught proper manners with them.  Nothing about seeing a pair of chopsticks suggests to a new diner that food should be passed with the thick end of them!  \n\nHow could they know if no one ever taught them?

I am assuming you are referring to Phnom Penh (the city in Cambodia) - do you have any more specifics like a time frame? There have been a lot of incidents that have happened over the years - I can help if you've got a little more info. Feel free to e-mail me at sofgrant@hotmail.com and I'll do what I can.

We tend to have a habit of not doing so.  Sad, but true.  Makes me angry as an American.

You are probably rihgt but I think it the behaviour varies from amongst individuals. I think the best approach is to try to understand the persons background in terms of their socialisation. You may want to look at the individuals family, age, race , schools they attendend and their perception of what the job entails.

I like it but they seem to think normal behavior is abnormal and vice versa.

It is perfectly acceptable to ask your sponsor about any unique customs.  In general, good table manners, respectful conversation and dress are appropriate.  The specifics largely depend on the type of dinner you will attend.  If it is a small, private affair, then one acts as one might at any dinner party.  If it is a public feast then there may be additional considerations according to the traditions of the institution.\n\nI recommend reading De Brett's Guide to Modern Etiquette for a detailed discussion of dinner-related manners.  It is the de facto standard for British gentlemen.
