Three foreigners were visiting England for the first
time. As they wanted to go somewhere by bus they went
to a bus stop and found the information they needed.
In about five minutes the bus came along and the
foreigners prepared to board it. Suddenly there was a
loud, confused noise behind them. The conductor heard
the noise and came down the stairs to see what all the
trouble was about. The three foreigners looked puzzled
and embarrassed. No one had told them about the British
custom of queuing for a bus so that the first person who
arrived at a bus stop is the first to get on the bus.
Clearly, learning the language of a country isn’t
enough. If you want to ensure a pleasant visit, find out
as much as possible about the manners and customs of
your hosts. You will be surprised how different they
can be from your own. For example, a visitor to India
would do well to remember that people there consider
it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table.
Or, crossing your legs when sitting talking to someone
in Thailand could cause offence. It is considered too
informal an attitude for such an occasion.
