Cultural differences.

There's a big cultural differences between west and my country.For example in the west if u tell a guy that his gf is hot,that would be a compliement to him,and he would feel proud.I was proud too hearing that from my colleques in London and my answer ussualy was "yes she is hot but she is not for u!"with smile.
But here in Azerbaijan ,if u tell a guy that his gf or his wife is hot,he would beat u up cos he would think that u wanna fu*k his wife.

In the west if u tell someone that he is funny that would mean that he is cool guy.But in my country that would be an offensive word like u r funny as a clawn.doh

What odd cultural differences ur country got with other countries?grin

Yeah,also talking about farts in my country is rude and tasteless topic.But in the west its quite hot topicrolling on the floor laughing

FOLK PSYCHOLOGY. So it depends of your spiritual level and character.peace
conversing Rummy 1, if you say, a Mexican, on how hot she is his wife or his girlfriend, get ready to receive, an unforgettable beating, the most typical style of Azerbaijani!laugh scold

cheers
"yes she is hot but she is not for u!"with smile.

smart answer, Rum laugh thumbs up applause

summer has said it all about Indonesian culture so I can only add that public display affection like hugging, caressing or even kissing your lover or your spouse in public places aren't common things to do here wine
Yes, Bonita is right. No affection show in public here between lovers (not yet married). Only hands on hands is allowed and hugging in current places. If you are okay with the staring then do it. hehe
which country is it that you shake your head from side to side for YES, and knod up and down for NO...In India
Here,I can say a lot of things.But the important thing I can share is...dont call Japanese name directly.For ex...When you call my name you should have to call me Miss/Mrs Marlene.In Japanese... Marlene san(here they used to call the family name/last name than the first name).If you call someone else kids,add chan for a girl and kun for a boy...after the kids name.If you talk to a customer...you have to use the very polite word instead of san,add sama after the name.Here there are some form of speech that you should have to used it depends who you talk to.Even you only talk to a kid...you should have to respect.When you answer yes or no...You must say it clearly in words and not by nod ur head.. hai=for yes...and iie=for no.And dont forget to bowing bowing
Going out with friends,at the restaurant...pay of what u ordered.Even though its your bf/gf....but of course it depends if she/he is willing to pay it allwink thumbs up
Interesting blog, Rummy. handshake

Gratuity (tip) ... "don't forget to tip the waitress/waiter" ... in the US, the typical amount given to a service person is 15% of the bill.

If your dinner bill is $20, you would tip the waiter $3. thumbs up

This is similar for a taxi driver, hair dresser (stylist, barber), and so on. Like most things here, this isn't formal... more or less is given by some but most follow 15% as being what is normal and expected of them.

What's the custom there?
