 Reading Comprehension:

When in Rome, Do as the Romans Do

When you are visiting a new place, you should try to act as the local people do. Here are some tips.
In Japan:
In Japan, be prepared to exchange personal or business cards. When a person gives you a card, don’t put it in
your pocket right away. The person expects you to read it and even comment on it. It is impolite not to do so.
In England:
In England, it’s customary to say “please,” “thank you,” “excuse me,” and “sorry.” It’s polite to say “excuse me” if
someone is blocking your way, and “sorry” if you accidentally bump into someone. And remember to stand in line
(or as the British say, “queue up”) and wait your turn patiently. It’s a good idea to talk about the weather, a
favorite topic of conversation with the British.
In Mediterranean Countries:
Eating dinner late is a common custom in Mediterranean countries such as Italy, Greece, and Spain. No one goes
out for a meal before 9 p.m., and most restaurants stay open past midnight. It is also common for people in these
countries to take an afternoon break. Many stores close for 3 hours in the afternoon, allowing workers to eat with
their family, rest, and return to work relaxed.
In Asian Countries:
In many Asian countries, people eat with chopsticks. It’s not polite to play with chopsticks or to cut and spear
food with them. It’s rude to leave them standing up in a bowl of rice. When not using your chopsticks, place them
on the chopsticks holder. If you can’t manage to eat with them, it’s advisable to ask for a spoon or a fork.
