table during the meal. but in mexico, guests keep their hands on the table all the time. in fact, you should watch what your hands do very carefully. in arab countries, it is impolite when you eat

you. you also have to say “please” and “thank you” every time you ask for and get something. if you dont like some food, dont make faces and dont say: “yuk! i hate that!” the best way to avoid making mistakes in other countries is to watch the host and try to do as he does.72it is impolite to lift the soup plate to your mouth in _. a .japan b. englandc . ukraine d . m
