What are some things one shouldn't do in your country?

Thailand: ( a selection of some 100's of possible ''advices'')

- trust anyone who approaches you FIRST without a specific reason

- comment on ''Royal'' stuff in ANY way (unless it's 'positive')

- enter someone's home with shoes on, and/or expose your foot soles to others

- have ''dirty'' fingernails

- shout, or show anger

- enter a taxi without asking to switch on the ''meter''

- rent a jet-ski ( :D )

- ask a policeman to help you

- see a smiling face as a gesture of friendliness

- consume drugs openly

- have faith in ''traffic rules''

- believe in customer service, warranty or quality

- expect someone to turn up 'on time'

- believe that ''they'' understand your English (or English in general)

- whistle after sunset

No hate what so ever...

Try not to talk politics with random people. They get iffy about it. Fake news is rampant here and if you wind up on the "wrong" side, you will get hate.

Try not to use your phone on crowded places, like while walking or when in an open public transportation. While it's generally safe, there are places where snatching/theft is prominent. Same goes with your wallet.

Don't do drugs. Unless you are very rich and has connections to the right people. Or yeah, just don't do drugs.

I think in Russia, not to give the ASL T sign, as that’s offensive. T sign is a fist with thumb between index and middle fingers. That’s worse than the middle finger in Yankeeland.
The respectful way to address people in formality is by first name and patronymic (like Vladimir Petrovich), and by nickname (like Vova for Vladimir) can be offensive.

In Yankeeland, no doubt is it rude to kiss strangers on both cheeks, like Borat Sagdiyev did.

In Spain, it might be rude to blow on the food if it’s too hot to eat, or maybe just for my Spaniard stepfather.

In all three countries it’s rude to spit, but apparently it’s polite in a certain country. It’s also rude to eat many foods with the hands, but not in North Africa or South Asia.

Australia, decide to have fun.

It is a complete Nanny state here In fact if you are having fun here you should stop immediately because your probably breaking the law. You can get 2 years and a $57 000 fine for letting off a firework here and you need a fire arms licence and a safe to put it in if you own a air rifle or a paint ball gun.

Do not try to be funny with anything related to the Third Reich. Especially do not show symbols, re-enact procedures or buy/sell products connected with that time. A number of tourists have gotten into trouble over the years.

[Sandeeppingping]

Kenyans be hanging out saying "Hey you, not you, you yes you" wth😂😂😂😂😂😂

[andreasderjuengere]

That will require some further explanation :)

[HelloImGoodThanks]

I forgot what country it is but one country if you give the thumbs up to them it means you are giving them the middle finger.

[justEric]

Don't say pão (bread) if you're not sure about the correct pronunciation

[Sandeeppingping]

Pronounced low pow or paw if we take French pronunciation right?

[justEric]

Yes, it's a nasal sound and the vogal is closed, most foreigners, English speakers in special, say the vogal open and it sounds to native speakers as pau, which is dick

[andreasderjuengere]

po - awn perhaps? Train me :D
Where ''pau'' here is a delicious snack type :)

[justEric]

In phonetics it's pɐw̃ if that makes sense haha.
Oh now I want pau

[genericname85]

wait it says for germany "don't congratulate for a birthday before that day". are you saying it's common in other countries to do that? xD

[Bratsondanielle]

I tipped in Japan and ordered cappuccino in Italy and they were just as happy as anyone else

[Dargil]

Cheat on your taxes like Joe Biden has for 30 years.

[TacosRAwesome]

Malta - Don't complain about the roads and the fireworks.

[andreasderjuengere]

That's new to me. You have ROADS over there? :D

[TacosRAwesome]

@andreasderjuengere pretty sure they're country lanes in most places

[grega239]

In Slovenia , never call someone white. It may cost you your teeth.

[BLP11520]
