Different countries have different customs in giving presents. IN CHINA you must never give a clock to a Chinese person, because the sound of the word for “clock” is similar to the sound for “death” in Chinese. Also, don’t wrap a present in white, black, or blue paper, because these are the colors for funerals. Don’t give a knife, because something sharp can cut a friendship. IN RUSSIA if we give flowers as a present, we have to give an odd number of them (one, three, five, etc.) because even number (two, four, six, etc.) of flowers are for funerals.
