6. Tipping is
heavily ingrained in American culture: no matter how poor the service in bars
and restaurants, always leave something. It helps to keep small bills in your
wallet for cab drivers, hotel porters and bar staff. In restaurants, calculate
your tip by doubling the tax. In bars, it's a dollar a drink.
7. Many Indians are
vegetarian for religious reasons. Meat-eating Hindus will consume chicken and
goat, but not beef or pork. Muslims will eat no pork; more observant Muslims
will only eat halal (ritually slaughtered) meat.
8. Saudis always shake
hands with every man present but not with women. Women do not drive cars or
travel alone and social encounters between sexes are segregated.
9. Thai people are very
passionate about their King. Never ever criticize the royal family or question
the monarchy.
10. In Israel you are
expected to carry your passport with you at all times.
