My point is that there are many areas of behaviour which are very rude in one culture and quite the reverse in another. For example, in a number of Asian countries I have often been complimented on being "fat", this being a symbol of wealth and well-being. In western culture calling someone "fat" is generally regarded as very rude. Those of us who prefer our international travel to be stress-free have learnt to have a very relaxed attitude to such cultural differences.
