For instance: -In Mexico, crooking the index finger to say "come here" and the American "okay" sign are considered obscene. -Photographing military installations in Mexico, Cuba, or Paraguay could land you in jail---or at least lead to your forfeiting your film to the police. -If you wear the clothing of the indigenous people in Peru, they will think you're making fun of them. -State-run "official" restaurants aren't your best bet in Cuba---seek out paladares, small restaurants set up in private homes. -You shouldn't be surprised if you don't get silverware in the Belize countryside. Tortillas are often used in place of spoons. -Bikinis are not acceptable on Ecuadorean beaches. -Giving a Chilean yellow roses signifies scorn or contempt. Fully updated and expanded, The Travelers' Guide to Latin American Customs and Manners includes advice and information on daily life in Argentina, Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Ecuador, Guatemala, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, and Venezuela.

Someone may grab a book or letter from you to get a better look at it. Floor attendants in hotels often come into rooms without knocking. -At a formal even in Nepal, people may adorn the guest of honor with a garland of flowers called a mala. -Be careful about complimenting people on a lovely piece of jewelry or an attractive object in the home in Pakistan. The host will feel obliged to give it to you. -In the Philippines, don't' be surprised if people give you food to take home after a dinner party. -In Vietnam, slurp as much as possible when eating noodles or soup, as it is polite to do so.
