In different countries, people do things in different ways.

house. This shows that you want to keep the house clean. But in America, people can enter a house
with their shoes on.
If you need to blow your nose at the table, what would you do? In some countries, people think it's
fine to do that at the table. But in some other countries, like China and Japan, people turn around to
blow their nose. They think it's impolite to blow their nose in front of others.
In Germany, it is very important to be on time. If you are five minutes late, you should say,
"Sorry, I'm late." But in some countries, like Mexico and India, people don't think it's late.
Eating habits are also different. In some countries, like India, people eat with their right hand. In
some Western countries, people eat with a knife and fork. In China, people eat with chopsticks and it's
