A EGYPT B JAPAN. © THAILAND D AUSTRALIA According to the writer, in which country did a politician receive an unexpected gift? is the price of the gift unimportant? are you expected to give a gift as large as the one youve received? xe most gifts speciahy made to coltrale pacar syont? have the res of git-ging been eSiabished for generations? is it common not to open gifts in front of the giver? ist unwise to say you Ike someone else's possessions? are there rules about how different types of gifts must be presented? might people be unimpressed by a large gift? Is it important not to damage the packaging of a gift? will you be forgiven if you got the dotails of gift-giving wrong? hhave the rules of gift-giving become less important in recent years? nl CEES a, eeThe Art of Giving In many countries it is customary to give gifts to your guests and hosts, but different cultures have different customs. How does the foreign visitor know what to do where? When the US President Jimmy Carter visited Egypt in 1978, a camel tradler’was asked to show him round a camel market. The trader was so honoured that he not only gave the tour, also pre ted the president witha six-year old camel, a pink ribbon tied around its neck. ‘The camel trader’s action was typical of the hospitality and generosity shown in many pars of the Arab world, where good manners are an essential ingredient in a person’s character, and generosity to guests is essential 10 a good reputation. Because there are accepted rules of behaviour in gift-giving, the foreign businessperson must 5 be careful. For example, admirnig a painting or 2 expect you tor omament in a client’s home or office might blige them to present you with it as 4, gf, What's more, your Egyptian. colleague will probably begin around of gife-iving and will spfocate, if not immetiiat then on the next possible occasion, and the gift should match theirs in size and cost, if possible. And the Arab world is not the only place where gift-giving follows set rules. In Japan they are even sthicter, As an American who volunteered to teach English to a Japanese woman reported: Before each lesson,and on each and every visit, the Japanese lady brought me a gift ~ a book, some paper sculpture or flowers; Unknowing this American was experiencing a ritual rooted centuries dleep in Japanese culture, According to Business Tokyo magazine, Among the Japanese gift-giving is a nb sity, not merely niecty as itis in the West? In Japan the proper gift is tho Jat to express the giver’s true friendship, gfatithdé, and respect far better than words And specific gift-giving rules have prevailed in Japanese society for centuries. They spell out the type of gilt to give and how the various types of gifts should be wapped: So if you plan to visit Japan, be prepared. But don’t, worry about getting the protocol wrong - foreigners are not expected to know all the rules! Another country which takes gifts scriously is ‘Thailand. When visiting a home in this country, take flowers or a bax of chocolates from the local market. The value is not important; it is che thought and the act that # count, It is the tradition in Thailand to wrap gifis beautifully with colourful ribbons, and the custom has long been to put the gift aside to be opened later, so don’t be offended if the gift seems to go unappreciated. But this custom is 5 not as rigid today as it was and you may be invited to open a gift in front of the giver. But in this case do Svoid ripping open the beautiful wrapping, as this is considered rude. And of course, there are countries where » blsinesspeople rarely exchange gifts, and wustralia is an example of this.
