Take a towel from the hotel or collect all the food from the buffet - usually such habits of compatriots condemn in the materials. However, in reality, residents of Europe and other states are surprised by other things. In this material, you will tell you about what habits you usually do not pay attention, but they rush to people from other countries.
Emergency emotionality
Although many thematic materials suggests that foreigners perceive Russian as "cold" and secretive people, in fact, "Crazy" are considered abroad in a good sense of the word. Russian people, even almost not knowing the language, stretch to communicate with foreigners. At this point, the problem arises that we do not always select the right words and the strength of expressing their emotions. Try not to speak loudly, unless you are in a club or other places where otherwise you can not hear each other. Try to gesticulate less and think about your words before pronounce them. Many expressions are absorbed by us from films and clips of musicians, but often in them the heroes communicate in a conversational manner. Such words in business communication will tell about your personality not from the best side - examples can become "HI" and "Good afternoon", "informal" names of body parts and so on.

Inability to make official requests
Rules of business etiquette in correspondence and oral communication are not familiar with the majority of Russians. Meanwhile, people abroad consider it necessary to turn to a person by name, greet it, ask a question, thank for the answer and say goodbye, without saying "You're Welcome", which means "please" in the literal translation. Excellent error correction guide - school textbooks in English. In them you will find not only the rules of etiquette, but also an example of an email and dialogue. Feel free to ask a person how you can contact him, and find out how his business is the question "How Are you?". Be polite and calm, then you will certainly be able to get answers to all questions and achieve the satisfaction of requests.
The desire to save on everything
Try to come to a restaurant in America or Europe and not leave the tip waiter. At a minimum, he will look at your space, and even worse, if he shows his character. Being to be afraid of such behavior is not exactly the same way as to forget about the rules of decency. Standard amount of tip - 10-15% of the account. It is also customary to leave for tea maid, taxi drivers and other people working. If you are driven abroad with a business visit, be sure to prepare small gifts - such a rule of etiquette is distributed in Western countries. It may be a tile of high-quality chocolate, assorted nuts, the book of the Russian writer or something else that tells a person about your culture and unconsciously postpone the memory of you on your brain feeder.

The desire to become friends per minute
If a person is interested in a secular event, we attach it to him for the whole evening - we will walk and talk about themselves, our family, cats and dogs, an unloved teacher at school and then on the list. Such openness does not frighten the Italians, Turks and Spaniards - these nations are open to such communication. But when interacting with more conservative people, learned to observe the "Small Talk" culture. This means that it is enough to talk to a person for 5-10 minutes, and then find yourself another interlocutor. Thus, in the evening you will get acquainted with a large number of people, with the most interesting of which you can exchange contacts and continue correspondence on social networks or by email.
