Foreign Faux Pas

It’s Friday again and time for another infographic from Graphs.net. This one is on foreign faux pas. Since I have done a few of these, I found this quite useful. I have to says that since my early mess ups, I have read numerous books and taken several classes, I still find it helpful to see reminders. The following paragraph is from Graphs.net.

A faux pas is a socially awkward or tactless act, especially one that violates accepted social norms, standard customs, or the rules of etiquette.Who don’t love travelling and exploring new places and learning new culture? But many of us are unaware of the fact that we are alien to the many of the places and culture of the land we are stepping into.What if you have done something offensive in the new place which is a normal event according to you? It will end you up in a judicial custody where you have to spend your life time in jail or pay a huge sum of money as a compensation which you are not planned.How can you avoid it, before planning a visit to a new land it’s good to know the laws and culture of the land and go according to it rather than attempting some offense unknowingly. Here are some known and unknown facts about different culture and land which will keep you safe in your travel and gives you a pleasant experience.

It was fortuitous to come across graphs.net where they disseminate interesting and some valuable information in a manner that is intriguing and fun. As a result, I am going to schedule one post a week to brighten your day. Please keep in mind you can sponsor any infographic with your brand/logo.
