Body language or, as it is also known, nonverbal communication, is about all the things that people say and do without using words. Research suggests that more than 70% of communication occurs without people having to say a single word.

Like language, the way we communicate nonverbally varies across cultures. But, unlike language, it can be very difficult to find out what the nonverbal rules are.

It's very well-known that there are differences in the ways that cultures work, but what can you do to try to prepare yourself for living and surviving in another culture?

I think you've got two things to think about. I personally don't fully accept the idea of "When in Rome, do as the Romans do. " I don't think people expect you to completely adopt all of the things that they do. What I think people would like is that you agree and understand it and that you do your best.

One of the things you can do is actually to explain to the other culture, saying, "Well, you know, actually we don't normally kiss in my culture, so it's a bit uncomfortable. " But then do your best, so it's a learning process.

Well, kissing is just one of many different ways of interaction that you need to know. You can get into difficult or embarrassing or even worse situations if you don't know it. Eye contact, tone of voice, how close you stand, any touching, how many times you kiss, a long handshake, a short handshake, it can go on and on. So I think, yes, you do need to get these correct and you need to have good observation skills.
