I am taking a class and need to "interview" someone from Laos. If you are from Laos originally or are there now, can you please answer these questions? Thanks very much.
1. How do people greet each other?
2. As a visitor to the country, would you exchange gifts at the first meeting? What gifts are considered appropriate? If flowers, what kind?
3. How are children educated? At what age do they begin school? Do boys and girls generally go to separate schools, or are they separated by sex in the same school? Do they usually wear uniforms?
4. What is the literacy rate for the country?
5. How is garbage collection dealt with?
6. What is the normal dress for men and women?
7. What foods, if any, are generally not eaten or possibly considered taboo?
8. Are there gestures or movements that would not be acceptable in polite society?
9. Is it acceptable to bargain for goods at department stores or at markets?
