Like many things, how you give out (or even receive) business cards in different cultuers can be different to how you would do things in your own culture. What works in one place may not work, or even be offensive, in another place.
If you deal with people from a variety of cultures, or are attending an event where you may well met diverse peoples, you may want to read up on how to offer/accept business cards.
The following sites all explain different cultures’ attitudes to business cards…
