UK-ADVICE 2LST

*When meeting Mexicans it is best not to discuss
poverty, illegal aliens, earthquakes or their 1845-6 war with
America.
*Never call a Canadian an American. Some Canadians get
so annoyed about being mistaken for US citizens that they
identify themselves by wearing a maple leaf as pin badge or as
a symbol on their clothing.
*Do not take offence if an Australian or a New
Zealander makes a joke about "Poms" - it is more of a
friendly endearment than an intended insult.
*Avoid saying "thank you" to a Chinese compliment.
Instead, politely deny a compliment to show humility.
*Don't snap your fingers if you are with a Belgian -
it may be interpreted as impolite
*Never imply Poles drink excessively. Despite
stereotypes, Poles are not large consumers of alcohol and
excessive drinking is frowned upon. PTI PS
