well in India whenever we meet elders either we join our hands and say Namaste or we touch our elders feet. Also it is considered rude to call someone considerably older by their name. But today in places like where i live Chandigarh have become just too westernized so so there are not many indian customs followed here.

Hi weng'-the one thing I was always brought up to be was to be polite and respect your elders that is what I have done and taught my children of which they are-your friend littleowl

I live in Florida, which is in the south, and the kids here are taught to use 'sir' or 'mam' when talking to an adult which is very respectful and not normally heard back where I originally came from. We are also fond of the word "y'all", which is short for "you all". It is used in the singular with the plural being "all y'all".

Hi weng, i'm from Indonesia We have national language called Bahasa Indonesia. In Indonesia, we use "Pak" (from "Bapak") for call adult men and "Bu" (from "Ibu") for call adult women. And we use "Kak" (from "Kakak") for call older brother/sister. But Indonesia have a lot of culture inside it. The island that i live named Jawa (Some abroad people knows with Java - not programming language -) have more than 5 different culture. Culture that i came from named Jawa we also use "Pak" and "Bu" like Bahasa Indonesia (many words and sentences in Bahasa Indonesia get from Jawa Language) but we use "Mas" to call older brother and "Mbak" to call older sister. In other culture in my island named Sunda use "Abah" to call adult men and "Emah" to call adult women. And they use "Akang" or "Aak" to call older brother and use "Teteh" to call older sister. There are more than 100 tribe in my country with their unique culture. So visit my country :) A lot abroad people know my country from Bali Island only :) *sorry for my bad english

our place is known due to our mineral deposits. many foreign nationals visit our area to witness some even hosted by our local tourism including us. our people here are very kind and hospitable. we accommodate any individuals that will come to visit our place.

Well I traveled quite a lot and I learned so many things, I think that all countries have their good and bad side!
