Use the passage to help you answer the following
questions.

1. Is the author of this passage male or female? How
   do you know?
2. What were the two mistakes that the author
   noticed?

The author is male. Ahmed Aziz will not shake
hands with women, but he shakes hands with the
author.
He noticed that the Colombian man kissed the
British woman, but in her culture, a kiss from a
stranger is not acceptable. He also noticed that
the Japanese man bowed just as the Canadian man
started to shake hands, so one mans nose
touched the other mans hand.

• Who seemed to prefer to keep more physical
  distance from others? Who seemed to prefer closer
  physical distance?
• 4. Did any students have similar greeting
  customs? If so, which ones?

The British woman, Julia, and probably the
Canadian man, George, seemed to prefer to keep
more physical distance from others. The Colombian
man, Tony, and the Jordanian man, Ahmed, seemed
to prefer closer physical distance.
Yes. Tony from Colombia and Darlene from France
bad a similar greeting custom a kiss. George
from Canada and Ahmed from Jordan also had a
similar greeting custom a handshake, but Ahmed
shakes hands only with men.
26
5. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. What do
you think this famous saying means? 6. Do
you agree with the authors statement that body
language is not good or bad? Why or why not?
This saying means that when we are in a certain
place, we should follow the customs of the people
who live in that place, not our own customs.
Give your own opinions.
27
Work in groups of four. Read the following
questions and then choose one to discuss together.

• If you meet a foreigner who comes up close to you
  to talk, what countries might he be from? How can
  you show him that you are uncomfortable with
  that?
• If a girl in shorts goes into a Muslim house and
  a man takes her outside pointing at her shoes and
  shorts, what should she do? Guess why he is so
  particular.
• What are some situations where
• body language is the only form
• of communication? Why?

28
Conclusion
Different countries have different cultures,
so when people greet each other, they will have
different ways. If people dont know the cultural
differences well, people may have difficulties in
communicating with others throughout the world.
