In our 'Customs around the world' series, we look at three different cultures every month to help you prepare for that important trip. This month's locations are Brazil, Japan and India. BRAZIL Brazillans are very friendly people and are generally informal, so it is important to say hello and goodbye to everyone. Women kiss men and each other on the cheek but men usually just shake hands. Brazilians stand very close to each other and touch each other's arms, elbows and back regularly while speaking. You should not move away if this happens. If you go to a business meeting, you are not expected to take a gift. In fact, an expensive gift can be seen as suspicious. On the other hand, if you're invited to someone's house. you should take a gift-for example, flowers or chocolates. However, stay clear of anything purple or black, as these colours are related to death. If you are invited to dinner, arrive at least 30 minutes late, but always dress well because appearances are very important to Brazilians. JAPAN The Japanese are quite different from the Brazilians. They can be quite formal, so don't stand too close. Kissing or touching other people in public is not common. When you meet someone, they may shake your hand, although bowing is the more traditional greeting. In a business meeting, Japanese people often like to know what your position is in your company before they talk to you. You should hand over a business card using both hands and when you receive a business card, you should immediately read it carefully. It is important to be punctual in Japan. It is recommended that you arrive early and dress formally. Gifts are often exchanged, but it is common to refuse before you accept them. When you present your gift, you should say that it is just a token of your appreciation. Most visitors are entertained in a restaurant, so it is a great honour to be invited to a Japanese person's house. INDIA Hierarchy is impertandin India, is important to greet the oldest or the most senior person first. Men may shake hands with men, and women often also shake hands with women, but men and women tend not to shake hands. When leaving, you should say goodbye to everyone individually. Personal relationships are important in business in India and you should not be surprised if the first meeting is spent getting to know everyone. In addition, it is important to know that many Indians do not like to say 'no' so it may be difficult to know what they are really thinking. Appointments are necessary and punctuality is important. Business dress is formal, so men and women should wear dark suits. If you are invited to an Indian's home, arrive on time. You do not have to bring a gift but gifts are not refused. However, do not bring white flowers, because these are used in funerals.
