What's Offensive 禁忌
Personal space varies as you travel the globe. In Mediterranean countries, if you refrain from touching someone's arm when talking to them or if you don't greet them with kisses or a warm embrace, you'll be considered cold. But backslap someone who isn't a family member or a good friend in Korea, and you'll make them uncomfortable. In Thailand, the head is considered sacred--never even pat a child on the head.
個人空間的概念因地而異。在地中海國家,如果你和別人交談時沒有碰對方的手臂,或見面問候時沒和對方親吻擁抱,別人會認為你不熱情。但在韓國,拍別人的背會讓對方感覺不安,除非此人是你的家庭成員或好友。在泰國,頭是很神圣的部位——就算是小孩子的頭也不要隨便亂拍。
