3 girls and 2 men

Hi folks,

We are a group of 3 girls and 2 men from Germany (Frankfurt) traveling to central Asian countries of Uzbekistan, Afghanistan, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan for cultural studies on a student exchange program. Our trip commences from February. We will be documenting different cultural behaviors especially about time management and hospitality.

Can you (if you are a citizen of any of the above countries) help us in finding more information about these countries by answering the following questions?

Time management:

Does culture influence them in their attitude towards time?

Are they punctual for business appointments, meetings and dinners?

Do they expect foreigners to be punctual for meetings and dinners?


Hospitality and gifts:

Are there any traditional festivals or occasions where gift giving is a part of the hospitality?

What are the gifts that can be given in personal visits and in business visits?

What kinds of gifts are taboos in these countries? Numbers, colors or anything…..?
