Review of 'The travelers' Guide',
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Travelers' Guide to Latin American Customs and Manners (Paperback)
It appeared to be rather 'up-to-date' concerning traditions and all such cultural information. Ifound it quite informative and entertaining.

Not as helpful as I'd wished,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Travelers' Guide to Latin American Customs and Manners (Paperback)
It's good for what it DOES--business and social manners in the countries that it covers. But the two countries I had wished to investigate--the Dominican Republic and Honduras--are not covered at all. Quite a disappointment. I suppose because these are the two most impoverished countries in the hemisphere, one might think that Americans aren't that interested in traveling there. Quite the contrary. Many American churches send mission groups there, and we need desperately to be aware and sensitive to the customs and manners of the other Christians we desire to fellowship with and serve. It would have been very nice to have a resource that included these two countries. I guess we'll have to look elsewhere.

Review of "The Travelers' Guide to Latin American Customs and Manners",
By
This review is from: The Travelers' Guide to Latin American Customs and Manners (Paperback)
I really liked this book. I learned a lot about what I shouldn't do in Latin America, so I don't accidently offend the people there. There are quite a few things that Americans do everyday that could offend people in other cultures.
