SOCIAL HINTS                                           
------------                                           
DRESS IS OFTEN INFORMAL. MUSLIM CONVENTIONS AND LOCAL  
CUSTOMS SHOULD BE RESPECTED. IT IS IMIPORTANT TO GREET 
PEOPLE BEFORE STARTING A CONVERSATION. GUINEANS ALWAYS 
USE TITLES WHEN ADDRESSING OTHERS SO THE VISITOR SHOULD
DO LIKEWISE.                                           
                                                       
                                                       
BUSINESS HINTS                                         
--------------                                         
BUSINESS IS NORMALLY CONDUCTED IN A FORMAL MANNER.     
TROPICAL-WEIGHT SUITS AND TIES ARE WORN BY BUSINESS    
VISITORS. MEETINGS ARE USUALLY HELD IN FRENCH. IT IS   
IMPORTANT TO MAKE APPOINTMENTS IN ADVANCE.
