• A small bow is the usual greeting. Use both hands to give or receive something.
• Take your shoes off in homes and in some restaurants with floor seating.
• Tipping is not expected.
• Respect seats reserved for elderly, pregnant and disabled people on public transport.
• Don't write people's names in red ink: it is linked to death.
