Gifts and Cultures

Narrator: In many countries, peopl e give special gifts at

certain times. Sometimes the customs seem unusual. For exampl

e, in Australia, a birthday cake for a 21-year-old is often shaped

like a key. It means the person is an adult and can come home at

any time. In parts of Africa, peopl e give a cow as a wedding

present, because they believe that a cow can bring good luck to

the newly-weds. Before Korean stud ents take university entrance

tests, their friends give them sticky rice candy for luck. The friends

hope that the stud ents will pass the test and "stick to" the

university. The following short conversations will tell you about

different customs in China, Argentina, Switzerland, Italy and

Japan.

Number 1: China

Woman: Did I tell you I'm going to China?

Man: China? Great.

Woman: Yes. I'm going to Shanghai on business. I have to

buy some gifts. Man: Good id ea. What are you going to take?

Woman: I was thinking of bringing some handkerchiefs.

They're col orful, beautiful? also lightweight. I d on't want to carry

anything heavy.

Man: Ah, I d on't think you shoul d give handkerchiefs. They

aren't a good gift in Chinese culture.

Woman: Why not?

Man: A handkerchief is a symbol of saying goodbye.

Woman: Saying goodbye?

Man: Yeah, like when you're going away ... and peopl e are

crying, so they need a handkerchief. Actually, I've heard that one

of the best things to give is a dinner -- not a present, but a big

dinner. It's good for business.

Number 2: Argentina

Woman: This is interesting. Did you know that in Argentina

you shoul d never give clothing unl ess you know the person

really well?

Man: Don't give clothing? Why not?

Woman: Cl othing -- even things like ties -- are too personal.

Only good friends give them.

Man: Huh? I never thought of a tie as being personal ... just

uncomfortabl e. What should you bring?

Woman: I d on't know. Maybe something for the house.

Number 3: Switzerland

Man: We're meeting Mr. Mertz and his wife for dinner. Maybe

I should take fl owers or something ... Yeah, I'll pick up some red

roses.

Woman: You'd better not give them roses. In Switzerland,

they could be a symbol of l ove and romance.

Man: Oh, I didn't know that.

Woman: I think candy or chocolate might be better.

Number 4: Italy

Woman: I'd like some fl owers. Uh ... those. About ten, I guess.

Man: Ma'am, I d on't think you should give ten fl owers. In

Italy, even numbers -- 2, 4, 6, and so on -- are bad luck.

Woman: Even numbers are bad luck? OK, I'll take nine fl

owers then. Number 5: Japan

Woman: May I help you?

Man: I'm going to stay with a family in Japan. I need to get

something for them. Woman: Pen sets are always a good gift.

Man: Oh, that's a good id ea. Let's see ... There are sets with

a pen and pencil ... and bigger sets with four pens.

Woman: You said you're going to Japan?

Man: Yeah.

Woman: Don't give a set of four pens -- in fact, d on't give

four of anything. Man: Why not?

Woman: The Japanese word for "four" sounds like the word

for "d eath." It's bad luck.

Man: Thanks for telling me. I'll take the pen and pencil set.

Woman: Good choice. These sets make very good gifts. After

all, pens write in any language!

Man: Uh ... yeah. Right.

Greetings Around the World

There are many ways to greet peopl e.

Number 1: A bow

Man: Around the world, there are many different ways to

greet peopl e. Bowing is the traditional way of greeting in

Northeast Asian countries like Korea and Japan. In Japan, when

you bow, you d on't l ook directly at the other person's eyes. But

in Korea it's important to see the other person's face when you

bow. In both countries, peopl e bow to show respect. Traditionally,

Japanese bows where the l eft hand covers the right hand are

more polite than when the right hand covers the l eft. This is

because, in the days when people used swords, the right hand

was used for fighting. The l eft hand covering the right

symbolizes one's stopping one's own stronger hand. Some

companies such as airlines still teach their empl oyees to bow in

this way.

Number 2: A hug

Woman: When good friends meet in Russia, they often hug

each other. This is true for both women and men. Russia isn't the

only place where friends hug. In Brazil, for exampl e, friends also

hug each other in greeting. In Brazil, the hug is call ed an abra o.

Number 3: The salaam

Man: The salaam is a greeting from the Mid dl e East. It is

used in Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and some other Arab countries. It

is most popular with ol d er, more traditional peopl e. To give a

salaam, first touch your heart, then your forehead. Then your

hand moves up, away from your head. When peopl e use this

greeting, they say, "Peace be with you."

Number 4: The namaste or wai

Woman: Peopl e in India and in Thailand use a different kind

of greeting. It is call ed namaste in India. In Thailand, it is call ed

wai. The hands are put high on the chest, and you bow slightly.

This hand gesture l ooks similar to the gesture many cultures use

for prayer. It grows out of a cultural tradition of acknowledging

the goodness in the person one is greeting. Though it is a way of

greeting, it also means "Thank you" and "I'm sorry."

Number 5: A strong, short handshake

Man: You all know how to shake hands. This is common in

many countries. But it isn't always d one the same way. In the

United States and Canada, for exampl e, peopl e usually give a

strong, short handshake. It's short but rather firm. Number 6: A

softer, l onger handshake

Woman: In many other countries, peopl e also shake hands.

But they d o it differently from in the United States and Canada.

In Mexico and in Egypt, for exampl e, many peopl e -- especially

men -- shake hands. Mexican and Egyptian

handshakes usually last a little longer. The handshake is

softer -- not as strong.
