Well, this wasn’t a big cultural faux pas, but it was interesting. I had to go to Australia last year. I was travelling around a lot – I had lots of meetings – so I often took taxis. I give generous tips when I travel – after all, they’re all expenses – but I realized that nearly all the taxi drivers seemed offended by me. You see, in Australia it’s always best to sit in the front seat of a taxi. You know, actually next to the driver. If you sit in the back, they think you are being superior – that you think you are better than them.
