Planning on traveling to another country on behalf of your job or as part of your own business venture? You may want to think things through and do a tid bit of homework before getting on that plane to outer lands.

If you accepted an assignment to work in another country with an organization, what are some of the perceptual errors you would strive to avoid?

A few suggestions on being smooth in foreign lands:

1. Overtalking - saying the wrong thing and accidentally offending someone or a group of people.
2. Maintain a calm positive attitude because you're on foreign soil and unfamiliar with the people.
3. Watch the type of clothing you wear. In some countries and neighborhoods, certain colors can be offensive to people as they have their own culture. Perform internal research to determine how you'll hopefully blend in.
4. Never making any kind of offensive facial expressions when eating their food.
Play it safe in foreign territory because you never know.
