Ahmed Aziz will not shake hands with women, but he shakes hands with the author. 2.What were the two mistakes that the author noticed?

He also noticed that the Japanese man bowed just as the Canadian man started to shake hands, so one man’s nose touched the other man’s hand. 3. Who seemed to prefer to keep more physical distance from others? Who seemed to prefer closer physical distance ? The British woman, Julia, and probably the Canadian man, George, seemed to prefer to keep more physical distance from others. The Colombian man, Tony, and the Jordanian man, Ahmed, seemed to prefer closer physical distance . 4. Did any students have similar greeting customs? If so, which ones? Yes. Tony from Colombia and Darlene from France had a similar greeting custom-a kiss. George from Canada and Ahmed from Jordan also had a similar greeting custom-a handshake, but Ahmed shakes hands only with men. 5. “ When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” What do you think this famous saying means? This saying means that when we are in a certain place, we should follow the customs of the people who live in that place, not our own customs. 6.
