five
minutes
later,
the
bus
they
wanted
came
along.
They
were
just
going
to
get
on
when
suddenly there was a loud noise behind them. People rushed onto the bus and tried to push
them out of the way . Someone shouted at them. The bus conductor came rushing down the
stairs to see what all the trouble was about. The three foreigners seem all at sea and looked
embarrassed (
窘迫的

. No one had told them about the British custom (
习惯
)of lining up for
a bus that the first person who arrives at the bus stop is the first person to get on the bus .


Learning the language of a country isn't enough. If
you want to have a pleasant visit,

do well to remember that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing
food at table. The left hand is supposed to be used for washing yourself. Also in India, you
might see a man shaking his head at another to show that he doesn't agree. But in many parts
of
India
a
shake
of
the
head
means
agreement.

点头

a nod means 'no' . At a meal in
countries on the Arabic Peninsula, you will find that your glass is repeated refilled as soon as
you drink up . If you think that you have had enough , you should take the cup or glasses in
your hand and give it a little shake from side to side or place your hand over the top.


In Europe it quite usual to cross your legs when you are sitting talking to someone even
at an important meeting. Doing this in Thailand, however, could bring about trouble . Also,
