Culture on Demand tells you all you need to know about culture, body language, rules, customs in an easy to read format. Can nodding my head mean no, can shaking my head mean yes, can my ok gesture get me in a fight? Yes- buy the app and avoid making costly mistakes.
What if you think you are expressing something positive such as looking a person in the eye when you speak to them or giving them a kiss on the cheek. However in that persons culture you may have offended or disrespected them. Avoid making these mistakes by buying this app.
Have you ever worn a two-piece bikini or a pair of shorts in Dubai or Goa; have you ever discussed politics in a taxi in Thailand; or have you sipped a bottle of water on a train in Singapore? Chances are if you have done any of these things you may have found out the hard way that you made a mistake. Avoid embarrassment by buying this app.
Culture on Demand is a ready reckoner for travelers - your one stop app to find information on customs, traditions, laws, non verbal cues, religion and even superstitions from the most popular destinations in the world. Culture on Demand will help you to improve your intercultural communication, avoid offending others or worse, break the law in another country. We all know how important body language is. People often make their minds up about us in the first 30 seconds of meeting.
This app is a must for anyone who is about to travel overseas or has friends from different cultural backgrounds. Making a gesture which means great in your country could be a swearing gesture in another country. What is the legal age for alcohol consumption in the country you are going to, what is considered appropriate fashion, what is considered bad luck, what will offend people and what will win you friends and impress people? These are some of the questions that Culture on Demand will answer for you. The best thing is that once you download it, you can use it again for so many popular tourist destinations.
Remember if you already have the Culture on Demand - Business app, you wont need this one. Culture on Demand Business contains all the tourist information but also has really essential business travel information.
