fiogf49gjkf0d SOCIAL HINTS
------------
HINDUISM AND BUDDHISM ARE THE TWO MAJOR RELIGIONS.
SOCIAL LIFE TENDS TO FAIRLY FORMAL. CONSERVATIVE
SPORTSWEAR IS RECOMMENDED. CUSTOMS AND TRADITIONS
SHOULD BE RESPECTED. IT IS OBLIGATORY TO REMOVE
FOOTWEAR BEFORE ENTERING BUILDINGS. ALCOHOL IS
AVAILABLE IN MOST TOWNS AND SMOKING IS USUAL. THE
CUSTOMARY GREETING IS NAMASTE AND HANDS SHOULD BE
HELD IN A PRAYING POSITION CLOSE TO YOUR CHEST.
NEVER OFFER A GIFT WITH JUST YOUR LEFT HAND AS THIS
IS CONSIDERED IMPOLITE. IT IS CONSIDERED DISRESPECTFUL
FOR WOMEN TO EXPOSE FLESH ABOVE THE KNEE. WHEN YOU
ARE IN A SHRINE OR TEMPLE, YOU SHOULD WALK AROUND
CLOCKWISE.
BEEF IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED AMONG BOTH THE HINDUS AND
BUDDHISTS. ASK BEFORE TAKING PHOTOGRAPHS OF PEOPLE AND
MONUMENTS.
BUSINESS HINTS
--------------
BUSINESS IS CONDUCTED IN A FORMAL MANNER AND TROPICAL
SUITS OR SHIRTS AND TIE SHOULD BE WORN. AN APPOINTMENT
IS NECESSARY AND BUSINESS CARDS ARE EXCHANGED. IT IS A
GOOD IDEA TO HAVE AN INTERPRETER PREPARED.
