    Customs regarding timeliness, tipping, paying for meals, greetings, and appropriate attire vary significantly between cultures. In Spain and France, people are more lax about appointments and consider tips and certain meals to be included in pricing. In contrast, Denmark, the US, New Zealand, and Indonesia have stricter expectations about punctuality, tipping separately, and paying individually for meals. Japan and Brazil also have distinctive greeting traditions involving bowing and cheek kissing. Additionally, attire that is acceptable in Canadian temples would be inappropriate in Indonesian temples.
