Doing Business - Never give letters in white envelopes or presents in white paper. In Taiwan white represents death. - Always have your business cards on you and present it to your business acquaintances with both hands as a sign of respect. -Avoid talking about death or accidents because it implies that it might occur -Give a gift as a sign of appreciation if having been invited into someone's house for a dinner or get together. EX: box of chocolates, bottle of wine etc. -When opening a gift, do not rip wrapping paper. Remove it carefully then fold it up instead of throwing it away like we do in North America -Do not whistle at night
