**5- Information of Hospitality by that country
**[INDENT=2]
Bahrainis are tremendously friendly. Greetings are given with a sense of enthusiasm and delight at meeting you or seeing you again. Smiling and direct eye contacts are crucial. Men shake hands and kiss each other on the cheek. Women generally hug and kiss close female friends. When Bahrainis greet each other they take their time and converse about general things. Accept any offer of coffee or tea. To turn down hospitality may be considered a rejection of the person. If you are invited for a meal, there may be a great deal of socializing and small talk before the meal is served. The evening will end quite quickly after the meal. It is considered good manners to reciprocate any hospitality you receive. If the meal is on the floor, sit cross-legged or kneel on one knee. Never let your feet touch the food mat. Try a bit if everything that is served. Meals are generally served family-style. In general, Bahrainis love to dress up. So try to look as good as possible wherever you go.[/INDENT]
