INDIAN GESTURE ETIQUETTE
When traveling to the country of India, it is highly important that the following gesture etiquette be abided by:
1) Never touch anyone else's head.
2) When standing, it is always best to just keep arms always at your side without bending them.
3) Always try to stand at least 3 feet away from another person when speaking in conversation.
4) Never point fingers at anyone or anything. Indians point with their chin.
5) Never whistle. This is considered impolite.
6) Never point feet at another person. If your feet or shoes touch another, please apologize.

ECUADORIAN PROTOCOL
For all of you out there who are planning to travel to Ecuador on a business trip, please take note of the following protocol for gift giving:
"1) If you are given a gift, you should be effusive in your thanks.
2) When invited into a home for a meal, bring flowers, pastries, or chocolates. Avoid lilies and marigolds, which are used at funerals.
3) Fine wines and liquors are also good gifts.
4) Be sure to select name-brand gifts.
5) If you know you will meet a business associate's family, it is a good idea to bring gifts for the children."
