Here are some basic Asian cultural dos and don'ts: Don't lose your temper in public. That is considered to show a lack of character. Don't point your feet at any sacred object, and in places like Thailand, you should not point your feet at anyone. Know how to greet people. In some places like Thailand, you do not shake hands but put your hands together in a "wai." Remove your shoes before you enter a home. Bargain at the market, but know when you also need to stop. Do not touch someone's head; it is considered the symbol of a sacred place as it is the highest place on the body. Take a gift if you are invited to someone's home.
