Etiquette taboos in European countries

The etiquette of giving priority to women originated in France. When traveling, men should pay attention to give way to women, open the door and give up their seats to women. And toast before the man at the dinner table, even if the status of female guests is lower than that of Japanese guests.

The French also taboo men to send perfume to women, because they are too affectionate and scheming. They don't want others to inquire about their political orientation, salary and personal affairs. If you give gifts at the first meeting, the French will think you are unsociable and even vulgar.

Don't take pictures with a camera with a flash in museums and churches in France.

If a China tourist visits a German friend's house and can give the hostess a small souvenir with a strong national style, the host will be sincerely grateful. If you just drop in, you don't need to bring any gifts. You can bring some gadgets to your child at most.

Germans prefer quiet life, but they don't like noise except on special occasions. If you want to get together at night, you should explain the situation to your neighbors in advance, ask them to understand, try to arrange it on weekends and try not to make noise.

Germans attach great importance to mutual respect. Don't ask other people's private affairs, such as women's age and income. Don't make fun of the people present. When talking, don't talk to people sitting far away from the table, for fear of affecting others' emotions.

British British people are most afraid of people talking about a man's salary, a woman's age and even how much his furniture is worth. These are the secrets of his personal life, and no one is allowed to ask them. In Britain, please remember that you can't ask others "Where have you been" or "Have you eaten?" They hate being asked about their private lives.

The British, who have to follow the rules in everything, drive in the opposite direction to other European countries. When traveling in Britain, remember not to sneeze and cross your legs in public; Don't walk under the ladder, and don't open an umbrella in the house. Don't laugh at the family affairs of the royal family when you speak.

Italy taboo "13" and "Friday", and thinks that the number "13" symbolizes omen, and "Friday" is also a symbol of bad luck.

Italy is also afraid of being stared at. Staring at people is disrespectful and may have bad intentions. When dealing with people you don't know, don't touch your forehead with your index finger, because it is a curse to "idiots" and "fools". Generally speaking, it is also forbidden to point your index finger at each other and speak a language they don't understand. The consequences will be uncontrollable.

Spanish female compatriots need to wear earrings when they go to the streets. If they don't wear earrings, they will be laughed at like normal people without clothes. Spaniards emphasize personal credibility, preferring to suffer some losses rather than admit their mistakes publicly. If you help them unintentionally and save them from loss, then you will win friendship and trust forever. Hungary, whether staying in a hotel or eating, can't break glassware, otherwise it will be regarded as a harbinger of bad luck and become an unwelcome person. Hungarians are superstitious and are not allowed to put poultry dishes on the New Year's table, thinking that in that case, good luck will fly away with the birds. Portuguese people pay attention to etiquette, and usually exchange business cards after polite greetings, but they are not punctual. When negotiating business with Portuguese, don't put pressure on Portuguese friends to get a promotion. Usually, Portuguese people like to negotiate business in old-fashioned, solemn and friendly coffee houses, which cost less but have good results. The Portuguese are very much like the Greeks, easy-going and sociable. Wear a suit in spite of the hot weather. When negotiating with them, you should wear a neat coat and tie at work and social occasions. Greece Greeks love to take a nap, which is caused by the subtropical climate. Saying good afternoon can include saying good night after midnight. The Greek way of business is more traditional, and bargaining can be seen everywhere. Friendly gestures, such as waving, mean "hell" in Greece. When the Greeks say goodbye, they will wave to each other.
