What topics do you discuss that might be difficult in other cultures? For the UK, I'd have to say religion and money are taboo subjects - you can skirt around them but not get too seriously involved in discussing them as they are seen as very private matters. Yesterday I met someone from another culture who kept pushing and pushing me to tell him how much I earn - and couldn't understand why I was so reluctant to do so. I know that in his culture it's a perfectly valid topic of conversation so I tried just politely fobbing him off but he wouldn't take no for an answer.

A person gets asked by a complete stranger if they could borrow the person's laptop for a short time to, for instance, check their email. I rememeber seeing this happen in a number of senarios including one during a train journey, in a cigar club and in a library. I would only ever lend my laptop to someone I know or an honest looking stranger on a longhaul train journey or on a plane. Is this a typical request in English speaking countries? What would you do? What should I say if I don't feel comfortable with their request?
