Content: if you sit in the back you're emphasizing the fact that this person is separate from you. It's interesting because they are providing a service, and in the U.S. it would actually feel pretty awkward to ride up front in the taxi driver's space. If you're in Rwanda or Japan, you better not try to eat in that cab either, as in those countries it's considered rude to eat in a place that food isn't served. 8 Changing Your Meal
Many countries take their dining experiences quite seriously. This means that you should respect the exact version of the food that was served to you and not alter it in any way. France, Italy, Japan, and Spain all take this pretty seriously, so accept your meal as is so as not to insult anyone. You might not even want to request condiments if there are none at the table. You also should be careful about finishing your entire meal if you're in China, Thailand, Russia, or the Philippines, as this is taken as an insult that not enough food was provided. 7 Using Your Left Hand
That's right: in Africa, India, Sri Lanka, and the Middle East you might insult someone by doing pretty much anything with your left hand.
