My mother works at a Ford proving ground company, and this up coming Tuesday she will be meeting up with some Hyundai Representatives from Japan. She is extremely nervous because they speak little English and she is very unfamiliar with their customs. If she does a good job and keeps them pleased this could mean a lot of business for the proving grounds, as well as put her higher up in the company.

I was hoping I could have someone help us in explaining what are the do's and don'ts of this meeting!! Should she try to keep with Japanese customs or should she stay with American customs since they are in America? Should she bow, and should she bring a english-japanese dictionary? would it offend them or gain their respect for her to try and speak some Japanese and do their customs (like bowing before them).

We need desperate help!! Last thing my mom wants to do is to offend them and she is really nervous!! Thank you in advanced!!
