Every country has it's own customs and rituals that may not go over well in other countries. Here are a few for you to keep in mind:
United Kingdom
Don't: Make that annoying clinking sound while stirring your tea. When it comes to a cuppa, silence is the height of civility.
India
Don't: Eat with your left hand. For reasons of bathroom hygiene (and we'll leave it at that), only the right hand is considered clean.
Japan
Don't: Spear your food with your chopsticks. It's crude. If you really can't manage, ask for a fork - you gaijin.
Ireland
Don't: Order a black and tan, it's associated with Ireland's suppression. We're pretty sure you'll make better friends over a Guinness.
