Don't ever ask for salt
Who has never
asked for salt while eating lunch for example? It doesn't offend anyone and
it's pretty normal asking for salt to put in our food when we think it needs a
little bit more.
However, things
aren't that easy in Egypt! If you go there, don't ever ask for salt to put in
your food! In this country, it's a huge insult to the host as Egyptians take it
as if you are repulsed by the taste of the meal they served you. texto e imagem de Mafalda Marques, aluna do 10º B
When you are in a cab, which seat do you sit in?
In our culture,
we don´t give much importance on where we sit when we are in a cab. We are used
to sitting in the back as we see in movies or series, and it´s not a big deal
for us to sit in the front when we are with more than 2 people in the cab.
However, in
Australia, it´s considered snobbish and really unpolite to sit in the back of
the cab when there is only one person in it. Australians often sit in front
with the cab driver. Now you know, the next time you go to Australia and have
to take a cab, never sit on the back seats!
