To be overly physically demonstrative is sometimes seen as unmanly. When drinking in some Australian pubs, you can signal that you can win a fight with anyone in the bar simply by finishing your drink, turning the glass upside down and placing the glass squarely on the bar. Australians are very much into sports, thus, any type of sportsmanlike gestures, such as congratulating a good performance or being a good loser, are appreciated.
Good sportsmanship is highly respected in Australia.
Bangladesh Bangladeshis will shake the hand of a Western man, but if the Bangladeshi meets a woman of either nationality, he or she will just nod their head while being introduced. Approximately one quarter of the population in Bangladesh is Hindi, thus, the proper greeting is the namaste . It is considered unclean if you transfer food from your plate to another's plate, even if it's your spouse's plate. Please remove your shoes before you enter a mosque in Bangladesh. If you see that other people are washing their feet too, do the same.
