Conversation

You may be asked personal questions about your age, salary, education, religion,

and family life. If you don't want to answer, remain polite but try to politely

avoid answering. In most cases, people ask in order to establish a rapport by

finding common ground.

Gift-Giving

Giving gifts is a common practice in the workplace, and the receiver is expected to

give a gift in return. Good gifts for a first trip include office items with your

company logo or something produced in your country. Your gift should be of

good quality but modestly priced. When you plan to give a gift to several people

within an organisation, be sure to give a gift of greater value to the senior

person.

Entertainment

Drinking is an important part of doing business. It is common to be invited out

in the evening to a restaurant/bar where there will be a lot of alcohol. Towards

the end of an evening the most honoured person will be asked to sing solo.

Make sure that you know one very simple song and do your best. Refusing to

sing is considered bad manners.
