Wow... How many info... Does anybody thought about Mexicans? Some people associate each Mexican with Antonio Banderas... La Desperados. There are some interesting facts about them. Did you know that: If you re invited to a Mexican's house, you re expected to bring a gift such as flowers or sweets. Do not give marigolds as they symbolize death. Do not give red flowers as they have a negative connotation. White flowers are a good gift as they are considered uplifting. Gift wrapping does not follow any particular protocol. Gifts are opened immediately. If you receive a gift, open it and react enthusiastically. If you are invited to a Mexican's home: Arrive 30 minutes late in most places (check with colleagues to see if you should arrive later than that). Arriving on time or early is considered inappropriate. At a large party you may introduce yourself. At a smaller gathering the host usually handles the introductions.

Waiting for any comments here is useless i see... This theme is forgotten...

Did you know in Egypt, in restaurants, looking at a fellow diner’s plate is considered rude?  If you do you are showing your desire for their food or envy at what they have on their plate.  If the other diner notices your look, they will offer to share.  If they don’t they believe that they will get the “evil eye” which is to be avoided at all costs.  If you are caught in your stare by the other diner, you will be offered some of what is on their plate.  The proper thing is to refuse or even refuse twice, but on the third offer accept a little on your plate.  If you don’t you will be saying it is bad and that you wouldn’t like what they have chosen to eat.

If you are eating in someone’s home in Egypt, you can look at each other’s plates because everyone is eating the same food, usually served family style.  In this scenario there is no comparison of wealth or choice.

Never leave a totally clean plate, no matter where you are dining in Egypt.  This sends the signal to the host that there wasn’t enough offered and that you may still be hungry.  Always leave a little of each kind of food on the plate.

Don’t worry if you forget these rules though.  Travelers are granted leniency when dealing with Egyptian etiquette rules.  A good thing for many foreign travelers.

I want to tell about turkish religion. There are some interesting facts.

Turkey is a resort country, people must be have a fun, but they are religious.

. When meeting shake hands firmly. When departing it is not always customary to shake hands although it is practised occasionally.
. Friends and relations would greet each other with either one or two kisses on the cheek. Elders are always respected by kissing their right hand then placing the forehead onto the hand.
. When entering a room, if you are not automatically met by someone greet the most elderly or most senior first. At social occasions greet the person closest to you then work your way around the room or table anti-clockwise.
. Greet people with either the Islamic greeting of 'Asalamu alaykum' (peace be upon you) or 'Nasilsiniz' (How are you? pronounced na-sul-su-nuz). Other useful phrases are 'Gunaydin' (Good Morning, pronounced goon-ay-dun), 'iyi gunler' (Good Day, pronounced ee-yee gun-ler) or 'Memnun Oldum' (pleased to meet you).

It was very interesting to learn about the traditions of Mexican is a very interesting topic. I think before you go on a journey this is necessary to study the customs of the particular country, otherwise you can get in an awkward position or even to be misunderstood. For example, in Bulgaria a nodding means "no " .
