Everyday Etiquette
In general the British prefer to be introduced to
strangers, if at all possible wait for a third party
introduction when meeting someone new.
Great Britain (especially England) is a non touching culture. When greeting
someone a handshake accompanied by a "Pleased to meet you" is appropriate.
When departing be sure to shake everyone's hand, a general group wave as is
often done in the United States is not looked on favorably.
Strong eye contact is not overly common among strangers and casual
acquaintances, too much eye contact is considered and invasion of privacy. Eye
contact is used when one really wants to make a point, when speaking with close
friends, and when interest in a person or topic wants to be stressed.
Bad Topics of Discussion: politics, religion, and sex. Also the common American
question "what do you do?" is considered rude and too personal.
Good Topics of Discussion: if all else fails mention the weather!
Time
You should arrive:
At the exact time specified ­ for dinner, lunch,
or appointments with professors, doctors, and
other professionals.
Any time during the hours specified for teas,
receptions, and cocktail parties.
A few minutes early: for public meetings, plays,
concerts, movies, sporting events, classes,
church services, and weddings.
Eating etiquette
1. Never lick or put your knife in your mouth.
2. Never take food from your neighbours plate.
3. It is impolite to have your elbows on the table while you are eating.
4. It is ok to put milk and sugar in your tea and coffee or to drink them
both without either.
5. If you've accidentally taken too much food and you cannot possibly
eat it all you should say :"I'm sorry, but it seems that 'my eyes are
bigger than my stomach."

Sports
Football is the national sport in England and plays a significant role in
English culture.
The modern global game of Football was first codified in 1863 in London .
England is the joint oldest national team in the world, along with the
Scotland national football team.
The first recorded women's football match in England was more than 100
years ago but it is only in recent years that women's football has begun to
receive some serious attention, in the form of televised matches (such as
the FA Women's Cup final and matches of the national team), international
games being held at larger stadia and, to a lesser extent, the comedy film
Bend It Like Beckham.

Etiquette in England

Etiquette in england *meeting and greeting · The British are reserved, which may cause them to appear cool and indifferent or overly formal. In fact, they are very friendly and helpful to foreigners. · Shake hands with everyone present men, women, and children at business and social meetings. Shake hands again when leaving. · Use last names and appropriate titles until specifically invited by your British hosts or colleagues to use their first names. *body language · The English tend to keep about an 23 feet between them while speaking. · Touching is usually kept to a minimum. · Family members are more relaxed and familiar with each other, so touching of the arms, elbows, or hands is acceptable. However in a business environment, touching is very minimal and personal space is respected much more than in a family setting.

Customs and behaviour patterns in Finland

Standing with arms folded is sometimes viewed as a sign of arrogance. Always cover the mouth when yawning! Finnish Behaviour Finns believe there is a proper way to act in any circumstance and always expect courteous behaviour. Talk in moderate tones and do not do anything to call attention to yourself. Serial conversation is the rule - i.e. listen to the speaker, wait for them to finish and then reply. Interrupting is rude. Finnish Meeting Etiquette Greetings are formal, with a firm handshake, direct eye contact, and a smile. It is common practice to repeat your first and surname while shaking hands. When greeting a married couple, the wife should be greeted first. Finnish Gift Giving Etiquette If you are invited to a Finn's home, bring flowers, good

Manners in Estonia

Age, experience and position earn respect. Older people are generally viewed as wiser and as a result revered and honoured. Elders are introduced first and in general are treated much like royalty. Those in senior positions bear the responsibility to make decisions in the interest of the group. Due to seniority titles are very important when addressing people. It is expected that you will use a person's title and their surname until invited to use their first name. Cultural Traditions Estonian culture as an identity is very strong. Oral traditions especially have played a key role in preserving traditions, stories and customs during Soviet administration. Singing is a very Estonian activity and the Estonians are known to have sung their way to freedom during the "Singing Revolution" of 1989-91. Manners Estonians on the whole are quiet and reserved. They tend to speak softly and do not like to draw attention to themselves.

British Cuisine Some people criticize English food. They say it's unimaginable, boring, tasteless, it's chips with everything and totally overcooked vegetables. The basic ingredients, when fresh, are so full of flavour that British haven't had to invent sauces to disguise their natural taste. What can compare with fresh pees or new potatoes just boiled and served with butter? Why drown spring lamb in wine or cream and spices, when with just one or two herbs it is absolutely delicious? If you ask foreigners to name some typically English dishes, they will probably say "Fish and chips" then stop. It is disappointing, but true that, there is no tradition in England

rice. Apples, oranges, and pears have long been integral to the Irish diet, but are now joined by a wider variety of fruit that have become available since Ireland joined the European Union (EU). Smoked salmon is considered an Irish specialty, as are Irish stew and Irish lamb. Irish breads include soda bread and brack, a rich, dark loaf containing dried fruit and traditionally served at Halloween. Tea and coffee are popular drinks in the home, and Dublin is rapidly developing a café culture. Ireland is also the home of stout, a rich, black beer brewed by Guinness and Murphy's. The traditional cooked breakfast consists of any or all of the following: bacon, sausages, grilled or fried tomatoes, mushrooms, eggs, white and black pudding (a form of blood sausage) and toast or bread fried in fat or oil. Fewer people now eat such a morning meal, however, preferring a lighter breakfast. In recent years, the Irish, particularly those
