Please tell us about the living customs in Australia.

When you meet someone for the first time in Australia, you usually shake hands with their right hand. If we don't know each other, we won't meet in kisses and hugs.

Many Australians look into each other's eyes when talking to others, which shows that they respect each other and listen to each other. However, some people may feel uncomfortable or embarrassed about this.

When meeting people for the first time, many Australians don't want to be asked about their age, marital status, children or money.

When you are introduced to someone, unless you are told his name, or this person says that he likes you to call him by his first name, it is best to match his title with his last name (such as Mr. Huang, Ms. Brown, Dr. Li, etc.). ) Australians usually call each other by their first names when they get together with friends at work.

elegant

Australians usually say "please" when asking for something or service. When you get help from others or something, you will say "thank you". If you don't say "please" and "thank you", it will be considered impolite.

Australians usually say "sorry" to attract others' attention; If you accidentally bump into someone, say "I'm sorry". Australians will say "sorry" or "forgive me" when they burp in public places or other people's homes (please forgive me).

When meeting people and keeping appointments, try to be punctual. If you know you will be late, try to contact each other and let them know. If you make an appointment with a professional, you will be charged if you are late or miss the appointment without prior notice. People who are often late will be considered unreliable.

If you receive an invitation printed with "RSVP" and the date. This means that the inviter wants you to inform them whether you accept the invitation or not. In this case, according to social etiquette, you should reply before the printing date.

Most Australians blow their noses with handkerchiefs or paper towels instead of blowing on the ground. So is spitting. Many people will say "bless you" when you sneeze-this idiom has no religious meaning.

You know, some behaviors are not only impolite, but also illegal. These examples include swearing in public places, cutting in line, and urinating outside public toilets or private toilets.

clothes

Australia is a pluralistic society. People here wear all kinds of different clothes, which just reflects this diversity. Many people wear casual clothes for comfort, or because of social occasions or the weather. Many people also choose to wear their traditional clothes, which may be religion or custom. This may include robes and headscarves worn by Muslims and Sikhs. Many new immigrants will also choose not to wear traditional clothes.

There is no dress code in Australia, although in some workplaces and places, you must wear certain clothes. For example, on construction sites, safety boots and helmets must be worn for safety reasons, while police, soldiers and workers in certain industries must wear uniforms.

Clubs, cinemas and other places may require customers to wear neat clothes and suitable shoes (not flip-flops).
