With concise tips on meeting and greeting, conversing, dining, dressing, and more, Behave Yourself arms readers with the basic, no-nonsense rules that separate ignorant tourists from welcomed guests. You will learn: How to eat without offending; how to dress to impressWhen to be on time, when to be late-and when to make your exitWho will welcome getting to know you-and who will find familiarity uncomfortableWhere and when a gesture you might normally take to mean "Yes" will actually mean "no"What everyday activities can actually land you in jail-from jaywalking to chewing gum to napping in your carThis book is an essential aid to those traveling abroad for business or pleasure. In addition to being a fun read, Behave Yourself will help you keep your foot out of your mouth, your wallet in your pocket-and your travel-weary backside out of the local lockup
