Introduction

Many Cambodians still do not have surnames in the European tradition. Cambodians use their father's or mother's name or surname as their surname. As a result, siblings may have different surnames because they received their father's or mother's name as their surname.

Personal Space

When talking, Greeks stand quite close to each other - closer than other Europeans or North Americans. This distance can also be observed in conversations between people who do not know each other or do not know each other very well. In such situations, it is important not to take a step back, as this can be seen as rather unfriendly and impolite behavior.
