Pointing fingers at people is considered rude in western culture. I am from Australia and have never heard of riding in the back of a taxi as being considered ride. In fact most everyone here rides in the back.

Interesting customs. In Kenya my tribe the Kikuyus, expect you eat when you come to the home. It is rude to the woman of the home if you say no. Ahsante sana=Thank you very much.

I live in Ireland and it has never been deemed rude to sit in the back of a taxi if you are traveling alone

Not too sure about these "traditions". I think a number of them are false.

If I'm travelling alone in Australia, I usually sit in the front seat of a taxi

I normally sit in the front seat but sit in the back if you prefer to avoid overly chatty drivers. Such as the one who made a detour so he could show me where he used to live. And kept the metre running.

It's rude for a stranger to touch someone's head in the U.S. as well. I'd be pretty upset if a stranger touched my head.

I have always sat in the front seat of taxis in country towns but not in the big cities.

I found out in Taiwan about leaving a small portion of food on your plate to indicate satiation. Having been raised in the ‘clean your plate’ style, I got some very strange looks—and my hosts kept ordering more food!

ninakamwene, I would love to visit Kenya. I have had an enormous interest in Kenya for over 60 years. I would love to know more about your cuisine.
