Second entry our experience 

For us it has been a good experience since we have learned about the different countries we chose and the variety that exists in different parts of the world has been very interesting.

The country that we chose as one of the best among the 4, is Denmark since as a result of the comparisons made, we were able to realize that it is a country whose inhabitants are very affectionate, family-oriented and, above all, they are very educated people and mainly respect any rule.

1er tribunal 

Hola mi nombre es selena

En nuestro proyecto hablaremos de 4 países y son: Colombia, Tailandia, Dinamarca y Francia.

Se investigarán las costumbres y la etiqueta de cada país, para poder hacer una comparación de cada uno y llegar a la conclusión de cuál nos gustó más.

Elegimos estos países porque tienen culturas muy diferentes e interesantes.

Francia

Generalidades y buenos modales en Francia

Francia es conocida en todo el mundo por tres cosas, principalmente:

- Su famosa cocina francesa: exquisita, vanguardista y selecta

- La elegancia de su moda, que marca tendencia en todo el planeta.

- La fama de que los franceses son gente que tiene "modales muy refinados". Normas de cortesía que se han 'impuesto' durante siglos.

Saludos y presentaciones en Francia. 

Aunque es correcto dar la mano en una primera cita o presentación, no debería sorprendernos demasiado que nos den uno o más besos en la mejilla.

Tailandia 

Saludos

El saludo tailandés se llama wai. Las personas se saludan presionando las palmas de las manos como si estuvieran rezando y haciendo una leve reverencia.

Partes del cuerpo

La mayoría de las siguientes costumbres son comunes en muchos países del sudeste asiático. Por ejemplo, señalar con el dedo a alguien se considera extremadamente grosero, un rotundo no. Los tailandeses suelen señalar con la barbilla.

Visitar a alguien 

Como ya hemos mencionado, los pies son considerados la parte más sucia de nuestro cuerpo, por lo que antes de entrar a una casa es obligatorio quitarse los zapatos (como se haría al entrar a un templo). Al entrar a casa, no pise el umbral: los tailandeses creen que esto traerá mala suerte a toda la familia. Es bueno traer un pequeño obsequio (flores, frutas, etc.) cuando visite.

Colombia 

Cómo presentarse en Colombia 

Títulos y nombres 

Cuando las personas se presentan en Colombia, generalmente dicen su nombre o apellido, seguido de “encantado de conocerte” o “encantado de conocerte”.

Señor. o señora

El "señor o señora" es parte de la cultura colombiana, cumple casi la misma función que "don o doña" es uno de los modales más utilizados.

Usos y Costumbres.

La cortesía es clave en Colombia. Decir “hola, por favor y gracias” es un gesto fundamental en cualquier interacción. 

•En Colombia es común que alguien le abra la puerta a la persona que está detrás de usted. Se espera que este gesto de bondad sea correspondido.

• El uso de apodos como 'monos' o 'gringos' para los extranjeros blancos es común en Colombia. Son expresiones informales que no deben tomarse como ofensivas.

Dinamarca  

Generalidades y buenos modales en Dinamarca

Los daneses son gente bastante afable, bondadosa y conversadora. Los daneses son felices y tienen un gran sentido del humor, un humor muy sutil. Los chistes y bromas ingeniosas son bastante habituales en su entorno y en las conversaciones.

Los daneses también son muy familiares. Les encanta estar en familia y realizar actividades en familia.

Civismo y respeto ante todo.

El civismo y la buena educación son una de las mayores virtudes de este país y de sus ciudadanos, así como de los demás países escandinavos. Si regresas a tu hotel a las diez de la noche y no hay nadie en la calle, pero estás a punto de cruzar, no pienses en hacerlo con el semáforo en rojo, aunque no veas un coche. por millas a la redonda. Te puede costar una multa, e incluso si alguien te ve te reprenderá por esta acción.

Saludos y presentaciones en Dinamarca.

• Las presentaciones se realizan al estilo occidental, siguiendo las normas de cualquier otro país en cuanto a edad, sexo o jerarquía. Se presentan por su nombre y las mujeres deben ser saludadas primero.

• El saludo debe consistir en un breve e intenso apretón de manos. No son muy 'amigables' con el contacto físico como abrazos, besos, etc. he
