It is usual to tip waiters, taxi drivers and porters who help carry your bags.Waiters expect to get a 15% tip on the cost of your meal. Taxi drivers expect about the same amount. In England, make sure to stand in line even if there are only two of you. It's important to respect (尊重) lines there. It's a good idea to talk about the weather. It's a favorite subject of conversations with the British. In Spain, it's a good idea to have a light meal in the afternoon if someone invites you to dinner. People have dinner very late, and restaurants do not generally open until after 9：00 p．m. In Saudi Arabia(沙特阿拉伯), men kiss one another on the cheek(脸颊). Your host may welcome you with a kiss on both cheeks. It is polite of you to do the same. In Japan, people usually give personal or business cards to each other when they meet for the first time.

Chinese people are among the most hospitable(好客的) people in the world. If foreigners visit a Chinese family, they would be surprised at the warmth they would receive as guests. When you visit a Chinese family, the host usually makes tea for you. Then he will serve you snacks like biscuits or candy. Someone in the family will also chat with you, never letting you feel lonely. At the same time, other family members will prepare a meal for you. Chinese people treat their guests with a big meal.

Perhaps one of the things that surprise a Western guest most is that the Chinese host likes to pick food for visitors, which won't happen at Western tables.
