So many countries, so many customs.
Every nation has its own customs and traditions. The combination of the words tradition and custom, of conduct passing from generation to generation.
To begin with, in the world of information where people from different countries have to communicate with each other having a command of foreign languages takes the first place. It helps people to extend their mental outlook, to know more about customs, habits, way of life of people from other countries.
Secondly, all traditions and customs are really different.
In addition, the greater part of people prefers traveling during holidays. Sometimes between people of different nations during their communication emerge various misunderstandings about their conduct. If you don’t know some traditions of the country, it can lead to offences; it can even sow seeds of discord between nations. So before going somewhere abroad it’s better to learn at least the most important points of culture of the country.
