Planning to have vacation or study in England will make you so excited. It is because England has been famous about the tradition, etiquette, custom, language, food, beautiful places, and many more. At least, once in your life time, you should go to England. Before packing, it is better for you to learn about the British culture. This will avoid you from doing something wrong unintentionally. Even you need to know the basic clothing that most people wear there. If you meet some people who seem to be unfriendly or cold, do not think that they are truly unfriendly. They are just a bit more reserved. Then, if you meet someone new and start to have conversation, never ask personal questions as the way you show your respect to the privacy.
There must be a time you will spend in public places such as museum or art gallery. If you meet some people you do not know well, it is better for you not to kiss, hug, and backslap. They are only for the close friends and family. You are supposed to have enough eye contact and polite hand shake while greeting. If you make mistake or do something that make someone uncomfortable, ask for apologize as soon as possible. Most people in England will give you apologize. If you don’t, they will think that you are rude. Additionally, men and women hold open doors for one another. In case you are invited to dinner or other occasion at someone’s home, bring a small gift like wine or candy. After that, send a thank-you note as the way you appreciate their invitation.
