<p>The clash of new and old has created a constantly shifting terrain of customs and cultures in Asia, making it difficult to determine what to expect or what is expected of you. For instance:</p> <p>-The hitchhiker's gesture of raising one thumb means "Get lost" in Australia, and the V sign with the V sign with the palm held toward you is obscene.</p> <p>-Even if you're not in India for business, bring business cards. People often exchange them even at social functions, since it helps the Indians pronounce Western names, and vice versa.</p> <p>-There is almost no concept of privacy in China. Someone may grab a book or letter from you to get a better look at it. Floor attendants in hotels often come into rooms without knocking.</p> <p>-At a formal even in Nepal, people may adorn the guest of honor with a garland of flowers called a mala.</p> <p>-Be careful about complimenting people on a lovely piece of jewelry or an attractive object in the home in Pakistan. The host will feel obliged to give it to you.</p> <p>-In the Philippines, don't' be surprised if people give you food to take home after a dinner party.</p> <p>-In Vietnam, slurp as much as possible when eating noodles or soup
