    24. Norms and custom some examples Libya – If you are invited to a Libyan home for dinner, only men will be present. Take a gift of the host but not for his wife.

    25. Norms and custom some examples Senegal – Never eat food with the left hand, as this is considered offensive.

    26. Norms and custom some examples Zambia – Avoid direct eye contact with members of the opposite sex – it may suggest romantic overtures.
