'Shaking hands as a greeting method is him "presuming", especially with Muslim woman'
Thats not "presuming" that thats the "norm". Thats sharing his culture, he was trying to greet her and her family in a nice way. Sharing culture is not arrogance. You think Chinese people dont "share" their culture too?
"The culture norm with regards to physical contact between man and woman in a religious conservative society should be well understood by any cultured person"
Firstly, why are you assuming shes Muslim? You think everyone there is Muslim just because thats the main religion there? Secondly, like I said, shaking hands with Muslim women in the West is the norm. So whats this "Islam custom" you were speaking about that he "should have learnt" from Muslim women in the West when they all shake hands? Even if we take your point on them being conservative, that falls under ignorance, not arrogance.
"If you cannot even understand this, you are more like the kind of lads go on club18-30 holidays to Ibiza"
All Muslim women from the West shake hands, if you cannot even understand this, then...actually Im not going to stoop to your level and make wrong assumptions about others with zero information like what you are doing.
"The same goes with the silly sad music interpretation. Totally unnecessary, if not a bit juvenile for a grown man"
Youre shifting goal posts. Unnecessary or not, juvenile or not, thats got nothing to do with arrogance, you know, the topic at hand?
"I can say generally, unless there is a large group, Chinese tourists when travelling individually or in small groups are more observant and try not to create unnecessary tensions. Whereas westerners, particularly Americans are more likely to do things to their own likings. Of course, this is on average, which includes approx 70%"
You are shifting goal posts here as well. I spoke nothing about "creating tensions". I specifically addressed your point on not being bothered learning the basics of the local language when travelling. Most Chinese do not learn the local language when travelling to non-English speaking countries, they just try speak English instead. This applies to most travellers across the road. Im asking you, why bother mentioning this point when it applies to Chinese travellers too?
As for your "creating tension" point. Whats this about 70%? Whats "to their own likings"? Doing something "to their own liking" means "creating tension"? Well one can say that people speaking another language "to their own liking", especially loudly, in country XYZ is "creating tension". That applies to more than 70% of Chinese. Your point again? This is about this guy in the video, not the worse of the worse from country X. So why bother bringing it up, especially when it can be said for Chinese tourists too?
