Kermen_U_Manners



When I was a child, my mother always taught me to remove elbows from the table while eating. My teachers at school told me to raise hand before asking anything. My parents taught me to greet older people. My mom told me to keep silent while eating. My parents always taught me not to interrupt people during the conversation. Teachers at school always taught me to come to classes in time.

**Social taboos in my country.**

While staying in Kalmykia the foreigner should know some essential taboos that I'm going to enumerate.

As you know, national traditions and rules are of great importance for Kalmyk people. When I was living in the village, people always greeted each other, especially in Kalmyk, every time they met each other. If you are younger than the person you meet and you don't greet him or her, it can be very rude of you. It doesn't matter if you know this person or not, you should greet him/her.
