Every country has its own codes of etiquette For example, it is common for people in the United States and in Britain to use first names quickly, even in a letter or a fax Such instant familiarity is much less acceptable in the rest of Europe and Asia, where even business partners and colleagues of many years' acquaintance address each other by the equivalent of Mr., Mrs., Ms., or Miss with the last name Therefore, when addressing a European, we should stick to the last name unless he/she suggests that we use his/her first name Also, we should not interpret the other person's formality as stiffness or unfriendliness On the other hand, if a partner with a North American or British background uses our first names right away, we shouldn't be surprised

considered disrespectful In the United States, it is considered rude to stare, regardless of who is looking at
