Be observant and know how you are being perceived. Be sensitive to your surroundings and the people around you, that you are not offending them:

*

be tactful in what you say
*

be careful in how you dress
*

respect elders
*

bow to elders, don't look them in the eye
*

greet everyone in the group, even if you don't know them
*

don't call an older person by their first name
