Article: Cultural Differences Around the World (Medium)
Culture varies greatly from one country to another. For example, in Japan, it is common to bow as a sign of respect, while in Western countries, people usually shake hands.
In India, it is traditional to eat food with your hands, but in many European countries, cutlery is always used. These differences in customs can sometimes lead to misunderstandings, especially for travellers. However, learning about cultural practices before visiting a new place can help you show respect and avoid mistakes.
Embracing cultural differences helps build better relationships and shows appreciation for other ways of life. Understanding these differences is key to becoming a respectful global traveller.
