page 97--alwar e aqram

same  thing  in different  cultures  is  interpreted  differently-
Turning  up  sleeves  in holland  and  britain means getting  ready  for  a  task
In germany  it  means  relaxing
Pakistan-ready  to  fight

In afghanistan people  spend  more  than five  minutes  greeting  others  on their  way

In arab countries looking  closely  at  their  house  items  means  you  need  them

Invitaion at  4
germans  would  turn up  exactly  at  4
americans  fifteen minutes  before  4
British  fifteen minutes  later  after 4
Italians  one  hour  late

Official  Luncheons  mixed  with  business and  pleasure
british talk business over  lunch
Japnese never  talk  while  eating
Germans  settle  their  business deals  before  eating
The  french  eat  first  and  then talk business
