Incredible little gem of helpful tactics

This book has everything you need to help you not make an idiot of yourself in Asia when visiting. From cultural sensitivities to food choices, this book helps visitors to Asia politely navigate tricky situations with style and impeccable manners.

Amazingly useful

I ordered this book for a two week study abroad in Hong Kong, Thailand and Vietnam. It covers those said locations and much more. It gives a brief outline appropriately entitled "Know-Before-You-Go" along with customs and other important cultural aspects. I strongly recommend it if you are going to traveling to the region or simply have an interest in learning about other cultures.

Kiss Bow or Shake Hands Asia

I bought this for my daughter who does a lot of business travel. She said it is an awesome resource and a must for those doing business abroad.
