Notes on social taboos of Australian immigrants

Notes on social taboos of Australian immigrants

First, daily conversations with Australians are taboo.

At home, it is common to make loud noises in public places, and many people in China don't think so. But if domestic investors live in Australia, this habit needs to be corrected. Australians are very polite and pay attention to the etiquette in public places. They never make noise in public places.

In addition, Australians think rabbits are unlucky animals and have very special taboos on rabbits. Therefore, after immigrating to Australia, try to avoid mentioning rabbits when talking to Australians, and talk more about sports, travel and what you have seen and heard in Australia.

Second, immigrants should know the taboo of meeting each other.

Australians usually shake hands when they meet. But when some close women meet, they kiss each other's faces instead of shaking hands. Because Australians' first names come first and their surnames come last. Therefore, in Australia, when addressing others, you should say your last name first, and then connect with miss, Mr. or Mrs. ... acquaintances can call each other nicknames.

Australians are easy-going and have a strong sense of time. Punctuality in dating and not contacting in advance are taboos in Australia.

Third, Australian immigrants should know etiquette taboos.

In social situations in Australia, small gestures such as stretching and yawning are forbidden. Besides, many Australian men don't like hugging each other or hugging each other tightly.

Fourth, Australian business etiquette taboos

Like many western countries, Australia is also a country that advocates equality. Australians don't like telling others what to do with orders, and they don't like others to speak with orders.

It is worth noting that Australians have a clear distinction between public and private. Take eating with a business partner as an example. "Eating" in the Australian population is simply eating a meal, which is different from the popular table culture among businessmen in China. New immigrants should not think that having dinner with business partners will make business easier. In the eyes of Australians, business cooperation and friendship do not need to be established at the dinner table.

Therefore, when we apply for immigration to Australia, we should know more about the daily etiquette taboos of Australian natives, which will help us get along with them and integrate into local life more quickly.
