Egypt Culture
Tipping is Way of Life in Egypt tipping
In Egypt tipping is cordially accepted and often expected. You can offer tips for all the people who has helped you during you travel but do not offer them small coins or notes. These activities are taken as insulting for the people you have tipped. However, your tipping should be spontaneous and it is considered offense to act under some pressure about providing tips. It is a good way to create some good impression on the people surrounding you. In this context you should not ever attempt to offer tips for professionals or the people who are of your status. You can arrange some gifts for them as gesture of friendship.

Body Language
Differences in body language are often the source of cross-cultural communication misunderstandings. Often people need to be aware of the spoken word with his body movements in order to know what the real intent. However misunderstanding in interpretation of body language can be a conflict between cultures. Mastering the language of a culture that does not mean mastering body language.
For example, the signal "not" the United States and Canada by moving the head to the left and to the right but the Bulgarian with a nodding head up and down or bow made in Japan can be seen by the USA as obsequiousness.
For other example, to say 'no', the United States, Canada and Indonesia would shake his head, the Bulgarian nodded, the Japan raised right hand, and lifted her chin Sicilian. In our country, a nod that means you approve something. But, in Yugoslavia, Bulgaria and Turkey, it means "no". While in the Arab countries, moving his head up one time signify "no" and shaking her head in India means "Yes".

Gurning
A “gurn” is a distorted facial expression, and English rural tradition has celebrated making these humorous grimaces since 1267. At the World Gurning Championship in Egremont, England, competitors don a horse collar and attempt to make the most grotesque face possible. While this tradition sounds silly, some, like four-time world champion Peter Jackman, take it very seriously. He had his teeth removed in 2000 to make his facial maneuvers easier.

CORPORATE CULTURE IN RUSSIA
-Russians appreciate punctuality. Business meetings generally begin on time.
-Under Communism there were no incentives for bureaucrats to perform well or to even be pleasant toward clients; this meant that the usual answer to any question was "No." This practice is still found in Russian society today, but "No" is usually not the final word on an issue. One has to bargain and be persistent to get what he or she wants.
-Business cards are handed out liberally in Russia and are always exchanged at business meetings. The ceremony of presenting and receiving business cards is important. Don't treat it lightly.
Representatives of the Russian company or government body are usually seated on one side of a table at meetings with guests on the other side.
-Your company should be represented by a specialized team of experts. Presentations should be thoroughly prepared, detailed, factual and short on "salesmanship."
-Russians usually negotiate technical issues very competently, directly and clearly but, being newcomers to capitalism, often do not fully understand Western business practices and objectives. You may have to explain the reasoning behind some of your demands.
-Russians find it difficult to admit mistakes, especially publicly. They also find it difficult to risk offending someone by making requests or assertions.
-Trying to do business in Russia over the telephone is generally ineffective. The Russian telecommunications system is inadequate, but improving quickly. The telex is widely used.
-Personal relationships play a crucial role in Russian business.
Business negotiations in Russia are lengthy and may test your patience. Plan to be in for the long haul.
-No agreement is final until a contract has been signed.

To show curiosity
When people in Americans and Chinese find something is curious, they may glare blankly. But when Chinese glares at an American, it may makes the latter angry, because in American Culture, staring at people or holding a glance too long is considered improper.
There is also a dominant curiosity in the class, where an American teacher teaches in a Chinese school. Chinese students will feel unaccustomed when they see their foreign teacher sitting on the desk to teach. They consider it as a rude manner, and the gesture may break the teaching rule. But to American, the action is only to minimize the tense atmosphere of the class and shorten the distance from students. So the most common complaint of American teacher is that they feel too conservative, too formal, and too dull at Chinese class. In this aspect, it can show a big cultural gap between Chinese and Americans.

Meeting and Greeting Etiquette
Etiquette in Turkey
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).
Gift Giving Etiquette
Gift giving has no real place in business relationships or etiquette. Relationship building and the like will usually take the form of dining or sight seeing trips rather than lavish gifts.
However, if a gift is given it will be accepted well. It is always a good idea to bring gifts from your own country such as food stuffs or craft items.
Be aware that Turkey is a Muslim country. Before giving alcohol to anyone be 100% sure that they drink.
The only time you would need to give any great thought to gifts would be if you were invited to a Turk's home for dinner. The most usual gifts to take are pastries, (especially 'baklava') and decorative items for the home such as ornaments or vases. Flowers are not usually taken to a host but can be if felt appropriate. It is best to ask a florist for advice on what is best to take. If the host has children take some expensive sweets or candy.
Dining Etiquette
Most business entertaining will take place in restaurants. Turks enjoy food and the meal is a time for relaxing and engaging in some good conversation.
The protocol of Turkish hospitality dictates that the host always pays for the meal. The concept of sharing a bill is completely alien. You may try and offer to pay, which may be seen as polite, but you would never be allowed to do so. The best policy is to graciously thank the host then a few days later invite them to do dinner at a restaurant of your choice. It may be a good idea to inform the restaurant manager that under no circumstances are they to accept payment from your guests.
Evening meals may be accompanied by some alcohol, usually the local tipple called Raký (pronounced rak-uh). It will comprise of a few courses with the main course always meat or fish based, accompanied by bread and a salad.
Turks smoke during meals and will often take breaks between courses to have a cigarette and a few drinks before moving onto the next.
Tea or Turkish coffee is served at the end of a meal sometimes with pastries. Turkish coffee is a national drink and should at least be sampled. It comes either without sugar, a little sugar or sweet. Turkish coffee is sipped and allowed to melt into the taste buds so do not gulp it down as you would instant coffee. Never drink to the bottom of the cup as it will be full of ground coffee and taste awful.

"Writing names in red ink in South Korea"
You are writing a birthday card, and the nearest pen you can reach is the red ink pen. The receiving person opens up the card and instead of seeing a happy reaction, the birthday people (if Korean) will most probably be in shock or offended. Why? There are many superstitions here in Korea, and one of them is writing a person’s name in red ink. By doing that it means they will die soon or you want them to die. This is because a long time ago the names of the deceased were written in red on registers, gravestones and plaques to ward off evil spirits.

Coffee culture around the world
Ordering coffee in the USA
Ask for a coffee and you’ll get it black and filtered. Many Americans drink theirs with cream, but if that’s too rich for you, go for half-and-half (half cream, half milk) or milk.
Ordering coffee in Japan
In typical Japanese on-the-go style, coffee is widely available in piping-hot cans spewed out of vending machines. Most come sweet and milky, but bitter black versions are available too.
Ordering coffee in Brazil
Waiters will often offer you a complimentary cafezinho after meals – this small filter coffee usually comes (very) pre-sweetened. If you want it bitter and black ask for un cafe’ longo, which is equivalent to an Americano.
Ordering coffee in Greece, Bosnia and Armenia
Coffee is prepared in the Turkish style, but because of long-running political tensions, it’s never referred to by that name. Avoid dirty looks and order a Greek, Bosnian or Armenian coffee, depending on where you are.
Ordering coffee in Turkey
Turkish coffee is made by boiling a mixture of powder-fine coffee and sugar in a small brass cezve (coffee pot). Never served with milk, it comes with a thick dark foam on top. Often made with sugar, it can be ordered without.
Ordering coffee in China
Historically a tea-drinking country, China’s coffee culture is influenced by the West. You’ll find the same steamed-milk easy-sipper at a Starbucks in Shanghai as you would in Seattle (the birthplace of the franchise giant). If you want it black, ask.
Ordering coffee in Argentina
Ordering un cafe’ will get you an espresso. It’s customary to serve this with sparkling water to help wash it down and keep you refreshed.

1. Greece
When kids lose their teeth in Greece (and reportedly other countries), they throw them on the roof.
2. Norwegians
Norwegians eat burgers with a knife and fork.
Norway's famous open-faced sandwiches are tough to eat without silverware, so they probably just decided to apply the habit to American sandwiches as well.
3. England
In England, you're flipping someone off when you do the peace sign backwards.
4. Japan
In Japan, you might feel pressure to cover your abdomen during a rainstorm.
Some people (mostly kids) say that in bad weather, the thunder god Raijin is on the hunt for belly buttons.
5. Indian
Indians might avoid giving you a gift or your change with their left hand.
Some argue it's fine, but others say the left hand is known as the one you use for... you know the potty.
6. Colombian
Colombian schoolchildren learn there are five continents, not seven.
The specifics vary from nation to nation, but one popular interpretation lumps North and South America together as one continent called "America" and counts Europe and Asia together as "Eurasia."
7. Chinese
Chinese potty training takes place in the streets.
In certain rural parts of the country, it's apparently acceptable for kids to relieve themselves wherever they please. To make things easier, pants even come with cute little slits in the booty.
8. United Kingdom
Roundabouts take the place of stoplights in the United Kingdom.
Not to say they don't exist, but stoplights are comparatively rare thanks to those circular hunks of concrete. The roundabout was developed by Brits, and in the past, locals have camped out to save roundabouts from demolition because they love them so dearly.

Western
have we ever heard a piece of dialogue romeo and juliet who said "what's in a name"? William Shakespeare the one who revealed the words set forth in the works of romance "romeo & juliet". most people, intentionally misunderstood poet's opinion of it. especially western people's. they think that the name is not important to them. The name doesn't carry the meaning of nothing all. the names of the persons not able to give meaning to their name through deeds and good behavior. usually western people wasn't concerned with the meaning of a name, if they found a beautiful and good words without knowing the meaning, they can use that words as a name for their child. they are also give a simple name to their child wich usually only consists of 2 words.

Coffee Culture in South Korea
Korea is a very interesting case. The Koreans actually a nation that has a tea drinking culture that is very high, the same as other oriental countries. But the development of coffee culture in Korea are increasingly rapidly. Last year alone, according to the customs in Korea, there are about 120,000 tons of coffee beans are imported to Korea. And this time, the Korean people drink about 329 cups of coffee a day, which makes this country a third of coffee drinkers in the world after the Philippines and Singapore. No wonder that in Seoul alone there are 284 branches of Starbucks, while in New York City there are only 277.
What's interesting about this coffee shop in Korea, they all have the theme of each and all of them are very interesting theme. Another uniqueness is the new Korean visit to coffee shop in the evening, at about 10 to 11 nights. In the morning and during the day, instead they are fairly quiet coffee shop. This is because the Korean people usually live with their parents until they get married, and when there is a date that comes, parents often follow eavesdrop. Obviously this is very annoying, is not it? Therefore they prefer to go out in the coffee shop. Some even new coffee shop open after 10 am.
The other thing that is interesting from the coffee shop in Korea is a companion coffee drinks. Korean people are very good at making cakes and breads, especially pastries. There are so many options that they handed to the guests and are all delicious!
Another uniqueness is in Korea no one is selling coffee by way of the drive-thru. Why? Because Koreans do not like this way. According to their culture, if we drink coffee quickly means that we do not like the people who were there, and drink coffee in a way very slowly means we enjoy a chat with our interlocutor
Dreaming camera
Once upon a time there was a family in South Korea who loves cameras and photography, and they built a two-storey building in the form of stylized vintage Rolleiflex camera next to his house. Interestingly, this building not only looks cool on the outside, because in it they make a cafe called Dreaming Camera! Actually, the building was originally established with the aim to be a place for anyone who wants to share their stories and help people to find and search for his dream. The cafe owner is always taking photos of the visitors, then printed instantly, and encourage them to write a brief dream in the image periphery.
Standing coffee
As the name implies, the people who came to this Coffee Standing must stand ready because this place does not provide chairs. But clearly, the women, especially you fans of k-pop, are required here because the barista at Coffee Standing are all men.
Korean culture is becoming more and more attractive, so anything with their products. Korean people are very indulgent eye of consumers with a very interesting presentation. But perhaps just as dramas or Korean boyband, not everyone likes to enjoy it even though the likes also do not lose much.

As a result , balls of fire filled the air of Scotland during the night goes to end of the year . This festival is a tradition passed down since the days of the Vikings controlled Scandinavia .
They believe the fire balls as a symbol of purification and hope in the return of sun and want to winter ends.
2. Break plates in Neighbor's House (Denmark)
Danes ( Denmark Native ) had another unique tradition , which breaks the plate by throwing it to the door at the home of their neighbors . This tradition has spread throughout Denmark that no one else complain or scold the offender .
They do that, because they want to be a successful. Because of it, for most families breaks so many items of crockery on the neighbor's door , they were the most widely believed to be successful .
3. Talking to Spirits

Finally , this tradition become an annual business area . For example , at the Taos Inn , an inn in New Mexico offer the ready so psychic link with the spirit world . One 15-minute session is priced 15 US Dollar.
El Colacho
ReplyDeletein Spain has a unique culture to cast it on the baby, they call it el colacho, we can called baby jumping. The festival was originally organized to keep the Devil away, although not everyone takes part in the festivities today to ward off demons. During El Colacho, which also marks the Roman Catholic feast of Corpus Christi, infants are laid on mattresses in the street after crowds gather to watch. Jumpers who wear costumes to look like the Devil then proceed to leap over these mattresses.
Still, despite the enthusiasm of the new parents and the confidence of the brotherhood’s jumpers, some babies tend to get nervous. It’s not uncommon for newborns to be in tears, mostly because of the commotion. Other babies find it funny, even a few are fast asleep, with no idea of the exorcism that just happened! The spectacle itself sends gasps through the audience. Although there has never been any serious injury to the babies during hundreds of years of “the devil’s jump,” it’s still quite a feat and a shock to see these hurdlers clear the broad mattresses full of beaming babies.
After the children are blessed, they’re sprinkled with flower petals and mercifully removed from their vulnerable positions. The blessings are followed by a parade through the streets of Castrillo past the flowerbedecked homes of the town’s residents. The parade concludes at the town church perched atop a hill and then with a party with copious amounts of regional, rustic red wine flowing.
Sometimes, injuries occur during this unusual cultural tradition, but there seems to be no sign that this festivity will be stopping anytime soon.

OTAKU オタク
Otaku is a term that was derived from the Japanese word that refers to another house or another family. It can also be used as a second-person pronoun that depicts some level of honor.
However, in modern Japanese slang otaku refers to a fan or an individual who is specialized in a particular topic, theme or hobby such as anime otaku, manga otaku, pasokon otaku and many others.
Internationally, otaku is used in specifically referring to any type of geek, however, it could also refer to anime fans or manga fans. The term otaku is also associated to those who are obsessed with Japan as well as its culture.
When we say otaku culture today, though, the Akihabara district in Tokyo, Japan usually comes to mind. This is the center of otaku culture that includes manga, anime, along with "mild cafes". Here are a couple of the most recent developments that have taken place in this district which continues to spread the otaku culture out into the rest of the world.
Akihabara was previously known to be dominated by wholesalers, but after World War II, the black market thrived, particularly those shops that handled electrical components. It was from these shops that Akihabara transformed into a hub for household and electronic appliances. It is now known as a place where individuals who have a passion for electronics can be found en mass, including computer geeks, radio operators and audiophiles, as they are certain to find whatever they’re looking for.
However, recently, there have been a lot of other shops which have arisen that cater to the needs of otaku. These shops would include those outlets which handle anime character merchandise and manga fan fiction. Aside from these, there are also maid cafes all over the district, where the waitresses are in maid costumes similar to the ones that are featured in manga. This further cemented the reputation of the Akihabara district for quirky pop culture. The district has subsequently been identified as the hub for otaku culture, a culture which has already spread from Tokyo to many other areas throughout the world.
There are also numerous themed cafes which flourish in Akihabara. These are similar to the maid cafes, but allow and encourage visitors to enjoy kosupure or costume play just like the waitresses in maid costumes. The waitresses even address customers as "master". For an extra fee, customers could even have the maid/waitress sing them a song. There are other shops as well that allow role-playing like this which enable otaku to have the ability to imitate the manga and anime characters that they adore.

Business Communication Assignment 1 - Culture
Italians use body language and hand gestures to punctuate an expression and give it a shading that the word or phrase itself lacks. The Italian hand gestures illustrated here are some of the more common gestures that are recognized in the country. Be aware that, like dialects, certain hand signals can mean different things within different regions and can have completely different interpretations in other cultures. Practice these gestures on your Italian friends first to be sure you've got the right movement, otherwise a potentially embarrassing situation could develop.
Example:
The fingers of the hand are joined, facing the person and there is slight wrist movement: this well-known. This’s gesture mean “Who are you?”
The index finger spins forward in circle. This’s gesture mean “Later”, “See you later"
The kiss fingertips and toss away. This’s gesture mean "Wonderful!"
The hands together in prayer. This’s gesture mean Asking for something "Please," "I beg you", "Come on" or just expressing frustration/emotion "Good Lord!"
To join thumb and index finger of both hands. This’s gesture mean “Clarify a point” or to emphasize something.
A make pistol with thumb/index finger, rotate. This’s gesture mean "It's broken", "Sorry, I can't help you", "There isn't any more", "Nothing can be done", "I don't know"
The pinch fingers, draw straight line. This’s gesture mean "Perfect!"
The side of index fingers tapping together. This’s gesture mean a two things or people are close/nearby, and possibly literally or figuratively in bed with each other. "There's something going on with those two", "They understand each other" etc.

TEA CEREMONY IN JAPAN
Tea Ceremony - Tea Ceremony history, Tea Ceremony Types or schools.
Two main schools, the Omotesenke and Urasenke, have evolved, each with its own prescribed rituals. There are also other, lesser-known schools. Currently, the Urasenke School is the most active and has the largest following. Within each school there are sub-schools, and in each school there are seasonal and temporal variations in the method of preparing and enjoying the tea, and in the types and forms of utensils and tea used.
All the schools, and most of the variations, however, have facets in common. The host, male or female, will usually be wearing a kimono, while guests may wear kimono or subdued formal wear. If the tea is to be served in a separate tea house rather than a tea room, the guests will wait in a garden shelter until summoned by the host. They ritually purify themselves by washing their hands and rinsing their mouths from a small stone basin of water, and proceed through a simple garden along a roji, "dewy path," to the tea house. Guests remove their shoes and enter the tea house through a small door, and proceed to the "tokonoma," or alcove, where they admire the scroll and/or other decorations placed therein and are then seated seiza style on the tatami in order of prestige.
Both tea houses and tea rooms are usually small, a typical floor size being 4 1/2 tatami, or woven mats of straw, the traditional Japanese floor covering. The smallest tea room can be a mere two mats, and the size of the largest is determined only by the limits of its owner's resources. Building materials and decorations are deliberately simple and rustic.
Guests may be served a light, simple meal called a "kaiseki" (懐石) or "chakaiseki" (茶懐石), followed by sake, Japanese rice wine. They will then return to the waiting shelter until summoned again by the host.
If no meal is served, the host will proceed directly to the serving of a small sweet or sweets. Sweets are eaten from special paper called kaishi (懐紙); each guest carries his or her own, often in a decorative wallet which is tucked into the front of the kimono.

Contionue...
Each utensil--including the tea bowl (chawan), whisk (chasen), and tea scoop (chashaku)-- is then ritually cleaned in the presence of the guests in a precise order and using prescribed motions. The utensils are placed in a precise arrangement according to the ritual being performed. When the ritual cleaning and preparation of the utensils is complete, the host will place a measured amount of green tea powder in the bowl and add the appropriate amount of hot water, then whisk the tea using using precise, prescribed movements.
Conversation is kept to a minimum throughout. Guests relax and enjoy the atmosphere created by the sounds of the water and fire, the smell of the incense and tea, and the beauty and simplicity of the tea house and its seasonally appropriate decorations.
The bowl is then served to the guest of honour ("shokyaku" 初客, literally the "first guest"), either by the host or an assistant. Bows are exchanged between the host and guest of honour. The guest then bows to the second guest, and raises the bowl in a gesture of respect to the host. The guest rotates the bowl to avoid drinking from its front, takes a sip, murmurs the prescribed phrase, and then takes two or three more sips before wiping the rim, rotating the bowl to its original position, and passing it to the next guest with a bow. The procedure is repeated until all guests have taken tea from the same bowl, and the bowl is returned to the host. In some ceremonies, each guest will drink from an individual bowl, but the order of serving and drinking is the same.
If thick tea, koicha, has been served, the host will sometimes prepare thin tea, or usuicha, which is served in the same manner. In some rituals, however, only koicha or usuicha is served.
After all the guests have taken tea, the host cleans the utensils. The guest of honour will request that the host allow the guests to examine the utensils, and each guest in turn examines and admires each item, including the water scoop, the tea caddy, the tea scoop, the tea whisk, and, most importantly, the tea bowl. The items are treated with extreme care and reverence as they are frequently priceless, irreplaceable handmade antiques, and guests often use a special brocaded cloth to handle them.
The host then collects the utensils, and the guests leave the tea house. The host bows from the door, and the ceremony is over.
A tea ceremony can last between one hour and four to five hours, depending on the type of ceremony performed, and the types of meal and tea served.
Types of ceremony
Obon temae
In Obon Temae (お盆手前) the host places a tea bowl, whisk, tea scoop, chakin and natsume on a special tray; these items are covered by the fukusa. Thin tea is prepared on the tray while kneeling seiza style on the floor.
Ryu-rei
In Ryū-rei (立礼, literally standing bow) the tea is prepared at a special table. The guests are seated either at the same table (one guest) or at a separate table. The name refers to the practice of performing the first and last bows standing at the entrance to the tea room. In Ryū-rei there is usually an assistant who sits behind the host and moves the hosts stool out of the way as needed for standing or sitting. The assistant also serves the tea and sweets to the guests

WEDDING TRADITION IN THE WORLD
Indian wedding celebrations last for days
In India, weddings are surrounded by rituals and ceremonies.
As part of the pre-wedding ceremonies, there is an Engagement Ceremony where the bride and groom exchange rings and the families exchange gifts and sweets. The Mehendi Ceremony is usually held at the bride's home before the wedding ceremony and is the celebration when the bride's palms, wrists, arms, legs, and feet are decorated.
On the big day, the bride and groom put flower garlands around each other's necks in the Var Mala Ceremony to show the bride has accepted the groom as her husband.
Jewish wedding ceremonies are filled with symbolism Jewish wedding ceremony in Vienna
In the Orthodox and Conservative Jewish faith, weddings cannot be held on the Sabbath or many other religious holidays. Rather than requesting "the honor of your presence," as most invitations read, a Jewish wedding invitation will invite guests to "dance at" the ceremony.
And the invitation itself is two-sided, with one side written in Hebrew and the other in English. While standing under the Chuppa, a canopy meant to provide sanctuary from evil spirits, the groom stomps glass wrapped in cloth to symbolize the destruction of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem.
It also symbolizes life's mix of joy and sadness.
Japanese brides must physically show their devotion to their new in-laws
Japanese bride wearing her horns of jealousy
Japanese ceremonies were traditionally held in Shinto Shrines. The bride is painted pure white from head to toe, declaring she is a maiden. She also wears a white kimono and an elaborate head piece.
During the ceremony, the bride wears a white hood to hide her "horns of jealousy" that she feels toward her mother-in-law and to display her resolve to become a gentle, obedient wife. To symbolize their union, the couple drinks sake together, becoming husband and wife once they take the first sip.
Brides have quite a few costume changes during the reception, first changing into a red kimono and then later into a Western-style dress.
In Germany, families plan ahead for the financial burden of a wedding
German bride
German wedding traditions begin at birth. When a little girl is born in Germany, several trees are planted in her honor. These trees are then sold once her wedding date is set, the idea being that the money from the sale will be used for her dowry.
Friends and family of the couple also create a wedding newspaper, which is filled with pictures, articles and stories of the engaged couple. The proceeds from the newspaper, which is sold at the wedding, help pay for the honeymoon.
The marriage ceremony is actually done in three parts. First there is the day when couples have a civil ceremony at city hall. The next night is the party. At the party, many friends and neighbors bring old dishes to break, believing it to be good luck.
The third day is the religious ceremony. The flower girl, the bride's only attendant, walks in front of the bride and sprinkles petals on the floor to wish the couple good luck.

Typical dating in several countries
Dating in Europe could be, sort of a group event. In Finland for example, groups as large as thirty teens take part in an event together, such as going to the movies. Slumber parties are preferred by the young living in Italy, as well as Switzerland. At such parties, teens gather at someone’s home and remain over night after the party has come to an end. Many Spanish teens join groups or clubs that bring people together connected by common interests, be it camping or cycling. The dating part however is done one-to-one, both sides asking each other out and splitting the expenses associated with a particular evening.
In the United Kingdom, teens do rarely have the courage to ask someone on a date by themselves, so such interactions usually take place in groups, where people are being supported by their friends into making this gesture or they rely on alcohol to acquire the confidence to admit they like someone.
Dating is extremely strict in Middle East since most dates are in fact supervised gatherings arranged by parents for the purpose of the young meeting one another before marriage. In Afghanistan, opportunities to meet are rare since young people don’t get the chance to go on a date, but they are introduced to each other by their families after their matrimonial union is already settled. Schools are separate for boys and girls in this country, and they are even forbidden to go outside past a certain hour, for girls the curfew time is at 7:00 P.M., whilst the boys curfew is at 11:00 P.M.
In Central and South America, teens are not allowed to date until they are at least 15 years old. Dating takes place in large groups, hence it is a common occurrence for teens to go out together in local clubs, to eat and chat, or to go dancing at weekend dance parties.
As people can see, differences in dating customs are highly influenced by religion and parental control, but in America, dating is rather conventional and movie-like. The term "date" makes more sense when talking about American people as teens from U.S.A live in a much more relaxed society where they can be themselves and behave unconstrained by their parents or religious traditions. Dates, as seen with young people in America, are a way of testing a potential partner before making an actual commitment and to determine whether a particular person is compatible with them or not. Teens in America start dating really early, even before high school, and they usually go to see a movie or have a drink/meal at the local diner.

Practical accessories. Many Dutch women carry very practical bags like little back packs. Easy to take on our bikes.

Italy (Bologna)
Characteristics of Italian style:
Tailored clothing of high quality.

You dress to be seen. One of my favorite customs in Italy was to join the crowds on Sunday afternoon walking at incredibly low speed in the high streets. All the shops were closed, people were just doing the ’rounds’ and the sole purpose was to watch others and be seen.
The lastest fashion trends are meticulously followed and high quality items are favored.

Style characteristics:
Designer brands (especially Gucci and Louis Vuitton) are very important,

Sneakers, comfortable shoes.
Not much focus on brands or designer handbags.
China (Shanghai)
Characteristics of chinese style:
Nice combination of western and asian influences with lots of silk available everywhere.
Creative. Many make their own clothes or have them tailored.
Fake brands are everywhere in China, so you never really know if someone’s Gucci bag is real or not.
Singapore
Characteristics of Singapore style:
Fashion is important.
Showing of your wealth with possesions and clothes is common.
All the brands are represented here multiple times, but good independent boutiques are harder to find.

Like Indonesia, the people of Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries also have traditions of friendship. They will gather with family and friends and give each other forgiveness after following the Eid praying in mosques nearby. After lunch with the extended family, then they went to visit neighbors and some relatives. Every home usually prepare a complete table with paper and pen near the entrance to welcome guests who are not able to meet the host.
For the guests, if they can not meet the host during a visit, they will put a box of gifts like candy, cake or even a set of perfume on the table as he prepared to write messages Eid.
TURKEY
In Turkey, Eid known as 'Bayram'. In addition to congratulating each other Eid, Turkish people also dressed in their best clothes (Bayramlik) and each visit to the family and relatives. They also have a tradition of pilgrimage to the tomb of the family as well as the people of Indonesia. However, in Turkey, only the men who went to the mosque Eid prayers, while the women stay at home.
Eid is awaited by young children. They typically will get around to a neighbor's house to say a prayer and in return they will be 'paid' with chocolate or like the traditional Turkish baklava and Turkish Delight.
Another common tradition Turkish society is to help people who are less beuntung to conduct fund-raising events such as concerts or performances of traditional arts.
EGYPT
As with other countries, Egypt also has a tradition of visiting during Eid. However, the difference, this is only a limited relationship to the family and its closest relative, without involving the surrounding neighbors. For those who do not have the living room to accommodate guests who come, they usually will be chatting casually while enjoying refreshments in the park (hadiqah). Not surprisingly, the gardens of Egypt will be crowded by visitors during Eid al-Fitr.
What about the typical food Lebaran? If Indonesia used to eat rice cake and chicken Opor during Eid, the people of Egypt for their Eid special food is Ranja. The food is made from a type of salted fish and pickled pickles. Meanwhile, for Eid cakes supplied Egyptian society was not much different in Indonesia.
SOUTH ASIA
In countries such as Bangladesh, India and Pakistan, on the night before Eid (Chand Raat), people usually visit various fairs and shopping malls to shop. The women, especially young ones, usually paint their hands with henna and wear colorful chains.
Just like in Indonesia, every Muslim is encouraged to wear clothes that clean on Eid morning and go to mosque or open field to perform the Eid prayer worship. After prayers, they are a visit and visiting family and relatives.
After the fest, people in South Asia are often visiting parties, carnivals and special celebrations in parks. In these countries it is mostly done bazaar as Eid feast.
AMERICA
Atmosphere of Eid in America is not as vibrant as other countries dominated Moslems. There Eid is not designated as a national holiday. Muslims in North America usually be up early for setting up a snack. Everyone is encouraged to dress formally and clean. Because the majority of Muslims in North America is a family of immigrants, many families who use traditional clothing of their respective countries to go to a local mosque or any place that is used as the location of the Eid prayer. After the Eid prayers, they also make the relationship with relatives and close acquaintances.
EUROPE
As in America, the celebration of Eid in European countries is also far from the fanfare, except for those who live in the Muslim community. Eid is also usually not used as a national holiday in European countries, so the Muslims would try to take a leave of absence so I can follow the Eid prayers and kind words. Most Muslims in Europe is also an immigrant or resident alien and usually choose to celebrate Eid in their respective embassies.
