18 Things When Traveling




Reasons Not To Do It France - In fact, asking about money is impolite in many countries but French sometimes treat this especially critically.

Ukraine - People in Ukraine as well as in most Slavic countries bring even number of flowers to the cemeteries.

New Zealand - Honking in New Zealand is often used when intended to insult another driver pointing out that you strongly disagree with his or her actions. 

India - Kissing or holding hand are also forbidden being considered as something highly inappropriate to do in public. 

Japan - Japanese are proud to provide the best service as standard without waiting for the tips. 

Mexico - Locals love to make jokes and they are generally fun and innocent, so treat it that way. 

Norway - Many people don't go to church at all and such question would be rude to ask. 

Turkey - This is an obscene gesture in Turkey. UK - Such behaviour is usually condemned.

Ireland - Locals don't think they have any accent at all. There are only accents of other parts of Ireland that they recognise as such.

Germany - People believe that the person may not live to the birthday if congratulated with it beforehand. Kenya - Only do it after someone has called you by the name first. 

Chile - Manners matter here. Singapore - Also don't feed birds, and don't throw garbage and don't spit on the street. 

USA - Tipping is obligatory and there are even rates of how much to tip for any service you use. 

Italy - Of course, you can order it in the restaurant but in such case be ready for the surprised look of the waiter. Italians drink cappuccino for breakfast, that's the reason.

Hungary - Though it's an old habit, some people still prefer to avoid clinking glasses especially when drinking beer. 

China - They are believed to bring bad luck when given as presents.
