Etiquette Abroad: A Pocket Guide to Stylish Travel

A Japanese shop assistant who frowns when you count your change, a Chinese host who beams when you end your meal with a big burp, deathly looks when you unsuspectingly pick up your mobile phone in a Dutch silent carriage. When travelling abroad, your fellow human beings do not always react as you expect. In order to pass the etiquette test with flying colours there too, it is better to study a bit in advance. In the book ETIQUETTE ABROAD, specialist Kevin Strubbe and journalist Liesbeth Hobert take you on a fascinating world trip to show you the way in the mysterious world of shaking hands, tipping, cutlery and appropriate footwear. Even those travelling for business will find many concrete tips in this book.
