There were several people joining Judson Moon for dinner from all over the world. Sometimes people from different cultures have different customs than we do. What were some of the unusual customs described in this chapter?
Here are some weird customs that Moon didn't know about and offended people by doing: Crossing his fingers, blinking, and refusing to kiss a man on the cheek. I don't think it was really his fault though because he didn't know about them.
Some customs were if did a certain movement it would be cursing to them if you complemented the moroccans on there close they would take it off and give it to you.
1) Some of the different customs from the book where don't eat with your left hand in front of King Fahd of Saudi Arabia, don't snap your fingers to French because it is vulgar, don't give a thumbs-up sign to Afghani ambassador because he'll think your cursing him out, don't mention World War II to the German or Japanese diplomats, and don't bring up apartheid to the South Africans.
I thought that the custom where you don't eat with you're left hand is kind of unnecessary because there are some people who are left handed... Like me! Uh-oh!!
These are some weird customs that president Moon did not know that offended people like:don't eat with your left hand,snapping fingers,thumbs-ups sign and don't mention World War 2. Some of the people got upset because he did some of the stuff that offended people.
There are A LOT of weird cultures, some of them are, blinking, cheek kissing, and finger crossing. I don't think that I would wanna do that stuff to someone who I did not know either. I someone came up to me and was expecting a kiss... Well you're out of luck. If someone was expecting me NOT to blink, well then I would not be you're friend. If you have a certain culture or custom and you are like those people in the book and you expect me not to blink, then we probably will not get along so well.
Some unusual customs were: Don't eat with your left hand, don't cross your fingers, kissing guys on the cheek, and don't give the thumbs-up sign to someone because he'll think your cursing him out.
There was a lot of weird cultures some of them were, putting your thumbs up cheek kissing and blinking eating with your left hand. I think the blinking thing is CRAZY. Who doesn't blink.
Some things i thought were mest up were when Honeywell said that if you complimented on the moroccans clothing they just take them off and give them to you,and Moon got in trouble when he blinked in front of the prime minster Taiwan.
These are weird customs that president Moon could not do in front of his visitors:do not eat with his left hand in front of King Fahd of Saudi Arabia because in his country they consider that uncleaned,don't snap your fingers because that's vulgar to the french,if you do the thumbs-ups sign in front of the Afghani ambassador he'll think you're cursing him out and don't mention World War 2 in front of the German or Japanese diplomats and don't bring up apartheid in front of the South Africans.
Some of the different customs were that if you compliment the Moroccans on their clothing they will take them off right there and give them to you.Another thing that is different is that if the king of Saudi Arabia sees you eating with your left hand he thinks that is unclean.
Some of the strange and unique customs is that president Moon is that he couldn't do was the he couldn't eat with his left hand in front of King Fahd of Saudi Arabia (because in his country they think it as unclean)also don't put thumbs up in front of the Afghani ambassador ( he'll think your cursing at him ). Okay no offense but that is a kind of weird customs!!
One of the strange customs was if you compliment the Moroccans on there clothing, they would give them to you. Another was do not give a thumbs up sign to Afghani ambassador.
Some of the weird customs are crossing his fingers, blinking, kissing each other on the cheek, thumbs up, not eating with your left hand, snapping your fingers and DONT compliment some peoples clothes because they will take them off ,on the spot, and give them to you.
