Basic standards for a compatible, daily, social coexistence:

Put yourself in the place of the other person: you are certainly happy about the magic words hello, good evening, please, thank you, etc. Entering a room takes precedence over leaving a room. On the stairs of the gentleman goes beside or behind the lady, vice versa while descending. On the sidewalk the gentleman goes on the road side. Blow your nose only discreetly, never at the table. Please sneeze with a handkerchief. Gum chewing, nose picking, burping and yawning are inelegant, but you know that already, right? Non smoking and non-drinkers are in. Grace and perfect behavior are in demand.

When introducing someone, the less important person presents to the higher person. The gentleman presents himself to the lady, the younger to the elder, the single to the married person. The higher person can shake hands or nod the head. A host presents the guests to each other. Professional introduction is done with business cards. If you have forgotten the name of a person, then ask: Excuse me, what is your full name, please?

Essential hints for anyone who moves on international ground:

Shaking hands can be done; women may well only nod their head. Men stand up for the welcoming of the ladies. No hand shaking is done during eating
