Do's for Uruguay


Offer a strong handshake. See entries below on specificities of handshakes.
Dress conservatively.
Define your term, 'conservatively' and see comments in earlier posts about modesty.
Keep hands above table during a meal (as opposed to on your lap).
Kiss friends on the right cheek when greeting.
No second, revolving door kisses? What about when departing?
Bring a gift of flowers if you are invited to someone's home (red roses are best). Always roses?
Did the literature say this or your informant?
Generate conversations about food, soccer, and international affairs.
Feel free to eat, chew gum, or smoke in public.
