Faux pas around the world:

• Arab countries: Eating with the left hand.
• China: Giving someone a timepiece as a gift.
• Czech Republic: Shaking hands while wearing gloves.
• France: Giving chrysanthemums to the host.
• Romania: Giving an even number of flowers.
• Thailand: Touching someone on the head.

In Thailand it’s also improper to step over or stand on bills or coins. They bear the face of the king, who is highly revered.
