Touching Somebody
Where It Is Offensive: Korea, Thailand, China, Europe and Middle East.
What Is Offensive: Personal space alters when you move around the world. In Mediterranean countries, if you hold back from any making physical contact with someone like touching his/her hand while talking to them or you do not express greetings upon meeting him with kisses or a warm hug, you will be considered cold. On the other hand, backslapping anyone who is neither your family member nor a good friend in Korea, you will make them bad. In Thailand, the head is regarded as a sacred part of body, so never even pat a kid on his head.
Then What To Do: See what local people are doing and follow accordingly. In Eastern countries, touching and showing affection publicly is not acceptable. In countries such as Qatar and Saudi Arabia, males and females are prohibited from having interaction.

Beijing is heart of China, It is it’s capital in every sense of word. After Olympics, It has once again regained it’s top position in place to visit list of many tourists.
Beijing is situated at 40 degrees north latitude and 116 degrees east longitude. It lies at approximately the same latitude as Philadelphia in the U.S. and Madrid in Spain. It is 43 meters above sea level and 183 kilometers from the sea. Beijing covers an area of 16,800 square kilometer, 38% of it is flat land and 62% mountains. Surrounded by the Yanshan Mountains on the west, north and east, Beijing stands on the alluvial plain of the Yongding River and faces the Bohai Sea.
Beijing has a continental climate. Annual rainfall averages nearly 700 millimeters; most of it comes in July and August. Winter is dry and cold. The frost-free period is 185 days. The best time to visit Beijing is May, September and October, when people enjoy bright sunny sky.
In order to see it all, you should spare at least 6 or more days. Be prepared to spend upward of $200 per person per day once you land in china till your departure. Based on information gathered from friends and some Internet searches, I have planned following plan to fully enjoy Beijing, China.
Day 1: The Great Wall and The Ming Tombs
Visit the Badaling section of The Great Wall that is the most famous of all because it is well preserved and restored to fullest glory. It climbs up and down, twists and turns along the high mountain ridges. A real treat to watch and experience.
