Going to the USA? Remember...

★ Make space! Always maintain enough distance between you and someone you're talking to, even a friend! Personal body space is very important to Americans!

★ It is NOT usually acceptable to call someone before 9am or after 10pm.

★ Never ask for someone's personal information, such as age or salary details. It is considered very rude!

★ Don't cut ahead in a line. 'Cutters' are not tolerated!

★ Yawning or sneezing without covering your mouth or burping are considered very gross! Americans have very high hygiene standards.

★ Opinions: it's OK to have them!! This manner of direct speaking is often interpreted by foreigners as rude, but it isn't!

★ Unexpected visits aren't really 'the done thing' in America! Telephone beforehand.

★ Remember to knock before entering a room.

★ Maintain eye contact when speaking to someone. Not looking someone in the eye can be taken as a sign of dishonesty.

★ Always try to be on time. Punctuality is extremely important for Americans.

★ Never forget to say 'please' and 'thank you'. Not doing so means that you have bad manners!

★ Names: it's often OK for young people to call adults by their first names. It is not considered impolite or disrespectful. Rather, it is taken as a sign of equality, a highly valued American ideal!

★ Eating before others are ready to begin is considered very impolite.

★ Remember to always tip waiters, doormen, taxi drivers, hairdressers. It's a highly important social convention in the USA!

★ Switch off your mobile phone when at the movies or at a restaurant with others.
