preferring face-to-face communication over emails or phone calls.

In Singapore

Singaporeans s shake hands when they meet and often also greet each other with a small, polite bow.Business cards should be offered and received with two hands.Arriving late is considered disrespectful.So be on time. Efficiency (效率) is the goal,so meetings and dealings often are fast-paced.Singaporeans are direct in their discussions,even when the subject is about money.Rank is important and authority is respected.This determines how people interact in meetings.For example,people avoid disagreeing outright with someone of a higher rank.

In the United Arab Emirates

In the UAE,status is important,so the most senior or oldest should be greeted first with their titles.The handshake seems to be longer than elsewhere.So do not pull away from the and shake.Women should cover themselves when it comes to dress.Men also tend to be covered

from neck to elbows (肘部) and down to the knees.People do not avoid entertaining in their homes,but they also hold business meals at restaurants.Touching or passing food or eating with your left hand is to be avoided.When meetings are one-to-one,if your host offers you coffee, you should refuse.It might seem odd,but it is a cultural tradition.Coffee should only be accepted if it is already set out or presented.

In Switzerland

The Swiss tend to be formal and address each other by last name.They also are respectful of private lives.You should be careful not to ask about personal topics.Punctuality (守时) is vital, something that comes from a deep respect for others' time.Arrive at any meeting or event a few minutes early to be safe.They also have clear structure in their companies.
