"[In Costa Rica] Making a fist with the thumb sticking out between the middle and index fingers is obscene. This gesture is known as the 'fig.'"

"In Japan and South Korea, visiting executives are usually invited to participate in after-hours drinking bouts."

What customs should I be aware of if my clients are from around the greater St. Louis area, Clayton, Chesterfield, St. Charles and such?

Perhaps the expectation that as a preamble to actual business dicussion, you must first determine the degrees of seperation between you and the client as determined by high-school experience:

"Parkway South? My sister's boyfriend had a brother who took Driver's Ed at Parkway South! What year were you there??"

And clearly, based on "dicussion" and "seperation" I clearly had no high-school experience at all.
