Wikipedia's faux pas list

Stuffed in: 2 wikipedia

I've made all kinds of embarrassing mistakes since moving to Asia almost 10 years ago. The most recent was giving money in an envelope meant for a funeral (I was in a rush). By and large most people I meet are good natured in this regard and give us foreigners a great deal of latitude. Being conservative, polite, and reserved certainly helps.

As expectations regarding good manners differ from person to person and vary according to each situation, no treatise on the rules of etiquette nor any list of potential faux pas can ever be complete but this grand list from Wikipedia may give you a head start. If not a great resource, it does make for some interesting reading.
