Muslims use the left for that and the right for eating with the hand from a communal bowl.Punishment for theft is to cut of the right hand so the criminal can never eat in company again as it would be unthinkable to use the left.

Lesson 1 if visiting those countries---if invited to a communal meal Never Use the Left Hand even if you are left handed. So many people travel without knowing this seemingly useless information.

Thats the trouble we don't know different people's customs. I have not been much of a traveller so have never had to worry about it. Only traveling I have done is in England and Australia. Customs are basically the same.
I know the Aboriginals have different customs to us though. Well the ones that live in the sticks anyway

One I like is you leave your shoes outside the door in China and the householder has plastic flip flops of various sizes inside to wear in the house.When guests leave these are washed ready for the next visitors.

In Japan they sit on the floor to eat and I think the women have to be lower than the men . Something like that rings a bell
