Customs and
Culture
French cooking is highly refined and involves careful preparation, attention to detail, and the use of fresh ingredients.
You are expected to say 'bonjour' or 'bonsoir' (good morning and good evening) with Monsieur or Madame when entering a shop and 'au revoir' (good-bye) when leaving.
The handshake is a common form of greeting. Friends may greet each other by lightly kissing on the cheeks, once on the left cheek and once on the right cheek.
First names are
reserved for family
and close friends.
You have to wait until
you are invited before
using someone's first
name.
Food is one of the
great passions of the
French people.
The choice of ingredients varies by region and is heavily influenced by what is grown locally.

National Anthem La Marseillaise
Allons enfants de la patrie, Le jour de gloire est arriv? Contre nous de la tyrannie L'?tendard sanglant est lev? Entendez vous dans les campagnes, Mugir ces f?roces soldats? Ils viennent jusque dans nos bras Egorger nos fils, nos compagnes!
Aux armes, citoyens! Formez vos bataillons! Marchons! Marchons! Qu'un sang impur Abreuve nos sillons!
Amour sacr? de la patrie, Conduis, soutiens nos bras vengeurs! Libert?, Libert? cherie, Combats avec tes defenseurs! Sous nos drapeaux, que la victoire Accoure ? tes males accents! Que tes ennemis expirants Voient ton triomphe et notre gloire!
Nous entrerons dans la carri?re Quand nos ain?s n'y seront plus; Nous y trouverons leur poussi?re Et la trace de leurs vertus. Bien moins jaloux de leur survivre Que de partager leur cercueil, Nous aurons le sublime orgueil De les venger ou de les suivre!

Antes, patria, que inermes tus hijosBajo el yugo su cuello dobleguen,Tus campiñas con sangre se rieguen,Sobre sangre se estampe su pie.Y tus templos, palacios y torresSe derrumben con hórrido estruendo,Y sus ruinas existan diciendo:De mil héroes la patria aquí fue.
¡Patria! ¡Patria! Tus hijos te juranExhalar en tus aras su aliento,Si el clarín con su bélico acentolos convoca a lidiar con valor.¡Para ti las guirnaldas de oliva!¡Un recuerdo para ellos de gloria!¡Un laurel para ti de victoria!¡Un sepulcro para ellos de honor!

Work in Peru Almost 20% of the children are forced to work as
child labourers to help their family survive. There are many young girls and boys who have
a small box of candy or cigarettes which they sell in the streets.
many of them do not attend school at all. They spend their whole day walking about and selling.
I met a little boy who works as a cobrador (conductor) on a bus in the city of Lima. He told me that he works six days a week from 6 a.m. until 8 p.m. For this he earns 40 or 50 Peruvian nuevo sol a week, which is less than €20.
Customs and culture
When introducing themselves for the first time, members of the opposite sex shake hands. Men who know each other well will shake hands or pat each other on the back. Women who know each other will kiss each other on one cheek.
Peruvians use a lot of hand gestures and are animated when they talk. People also stand very close to each other and touch each other. Maintaining eye contact is important.
Peruvians were western-style clothing in urban areas. They tend to dress up when going into public. It is inappropriate to go out of the house wearing dirty or old clothing.
Many couples decide to live together (as opposed to getting married) because of their lack of resources for carrying out both the legal and religious ceremonies.
