- In Asia, touching or pointing using the foot would be considered very rude, because the foot is the part that has a 'caste' lowest in the body. If you accidentally do this, apologize as he touched the hand of the person and then touch your own head. The feet are also not allowed to be on the table or chair when sitting. Instead, touch the heads of people in Asia are also very rude, especially to older people. The head is considered as the highest part of the body.
- Shaking hands, is a way to start the introductions to strangers. In Fiji, it is even a tradition remains. Shaking hands with the citizens of Fiji can take a while, usually even to your conversations with the people of Fiji had ended.
- In Nepal, stepping over the feet of people who were sitting slouched is a very bad behavior. Do not forget when visiting temples, monks do not sit on a pillow, even when no one sitting there. When around the shrine, walk clockwise highly recommended.
- When the opportunity to visit Japan, do not forget to soak in the onsen, a Japanese hot spring baths. It is important to remember, before soaking in the onsen, first rinse your body, because it will be used onsen abuzz with other visitors.
- The Italians are very expressive body language. Greetings their meeting not only the hand grip, but also the right and left cheek kiss. Berdorong-boost in public places is not considered rude in Italy, just a common thing to show the intimacy between them.
- Shake hands on the threshold is considered unlucky in Russia. So when you stay at a hotel in Moscow, avoid talking or shaking hands with the clerk in the doorway.
- In India, more body language than to speak directly of expression. Do not be surprised if you find Indians who more often to move his body, with plenty of head and hand movements to express his feelings rather than talking directly.
- In the UK, showing the middle finger and index finger together with your palms facing you will be considered very rude, more or less tantamount to showing the middle finger in the United States.
- As in Fiji, greeting in Morocco also be lengthy. The first is to shake hands with your right hand and then touching your chest toward the left (heart), to say 'pleased to meet you'. Then proceed to kiss the right cheek and left (though only allowed fellow male or female) and saying things like "How are you doing?" "How are your parents" and "Baraka (congratulations)".
