2. Photo taboo of foreign activities

In foreign activities, people must not violate the taboos of specific countries, regions and ethnic groups when taking pictures. In border crossings, airports, museums, private rooms, exhibitions of new products and technologies, exhibition halls of precious cultural relics and other places, you should take photos at random in Yanji. With permission, Yan Ji used a flash when shooting ancient paintings and other ancient cultural relics. People should consciously avoid taking pictures in places or areas where "No Photographing" signs are used. In general, it is forbidden to take pictures of strangers (especially women).

3. Hygienic taboos in foreign activities

Personal hygiene: avoid untidy and dirty clothes, shoes, hats or neckline cuffs. In formal occasions, it is forbidden to dig chewing gum, blow your nose, pick your nose, pick your ears, pick your teeth, cut your nails and other unsanitary actions. Yan Ji, who suffers from infectious diseases, participates in foreign affairs activities.

4. Business etiquette and taboos

Etiquette in Southeast Asia: When negotiating business with Southeast Asian businessmen, Yanji crossed her legs and even dangled the soles of her shoes. Otherwise, it will arouse the antipathy of the other party, and the trade fair will be ruined immediately.

Middle Eastern Etiquette: Businessmen from Arab countries in the Middle East often discuss trade in cafes. When you meet them, you should drink coffee, tea or cold drinks. Yanji wants to drink, smoke, talk about women and take photos, not talk about the political situation in the Middle East and international oil policy.

Russian etiquette: Russia and eastern European countries are extremely enthusiastic about the courtesy of western businessmen. When negotiating trade with Russians, don't call them "Russians".

British Taboos: There are three taboos in negotiating trade in Britain: 1. Avoid wearing striped ties (because striped ties may be considered as imitating military or student uniforms; 2. Avoid treating the family affairs of the royal family as a joke of conversation; Don't call an Englishman "Englishman".

French etiquette: When Yan Ji talks about trade in France, he talks too much about personal affairs. Because the French don't like to talk about the privacy of family and personal life.

South American etiquette: In order to do business in South America, people should wear dark clothes, have intimate conversation and intimacy, and avoid wearing light clothes and talking about local political issues.

German etiquette: German businessmen attach great importance to work efficiency. Therefore, when negotiating trade with them, Yanji either chats about God or talks about complications. Businessmen in northern Germany attach great importance to their titles. When they warmly shake hands with them again and again and call them titles again and again, he is bound to be particularly happy.

Swiss etiquette: if you send a letter to a Swiss company, the recipient should write the full name of the company, and Yan Ji should write the name of the company employee. Because, if the recipient is not here, this letter will never be opened. Swiss people worship companies with a long history. If your company was built before 1895, you should emphasize it in your work certificate or business card.

American manners: When negotiating with Americans, you don't have to shake hands and be polite. Trade negotiations can go straight to the point, even at breakfast.

Finnish etiquette: When negotiating with Finnish businessmen, you should pay attention to shaking hands and address the other party as "manager". The negotiation place is mostly in the office, but generally not at the banquet. After the negotiation is successful, Finnish businessmen usually invite you to family dinners and steam baths. This is a very important etiquette. If you are invited to dinner, don't be late, and don't forget to send five or seven (even) flowers to the hostess. Before the host makes a formal toast, the guests should not drink by themselves first. When talking freely, you should avoid talking about local political issues.
