National features

We live in global village, but this doesn’t mean that we all behave in the same way. Every nationality has its own features.

Hospitality is considered a sacred duty in the Kazakh society, which eventually transformed into a feature of national character. In the Kazakh society, there is an unofficial law voiced in ancient times. It says “Meet a guest as a God's messenger”.

In Japan people usually invite guests home at the weekend for dinner, at about 7 o’clock in the evening. Before the guests come, they must tidy the front garden and clean the entrance hall. Then they must spray it all with water to show that they welcome their guests with cleanliness.

In Italy, Spain, and Latin America, lunch is often the biggest meal of the day, and can last two or three hours. For this reason many people eat light breakfast and a late dinner. In Britain, you might have a business as you eat. In Mexico and Japan many people prefer not to discuss business while you eating.
