"Japan: stop with the stereotypes, don't mention the war, don't try to hug people/hand shaking, keep tidy."
"In S. Korea tipping is acceptable is some places, but is mostly considered rude and belittling"
"INDIA-
Do not kiss in public.
In India it is okay to pee in public but not okay to kiss in public."
"Barbados.
Dont wear camo/military style clothing.
When the lifeguard tells you "dont swim near the rocks", DONT. F@#KING. SWIM. NEAR. THE . ROCKS. You will either pass away, or break every bone in your body."
"Hawaii:
Decide you don't need sunscreen because you're from California and it's pretty much the same. Yes, I know your hotel is only ten miles from the airport and you paid extra for a convertible. You're toast. Literal toast.
Figure it's a tropical theme park, not a place where people live and work. Yes, folks, that's a road. For cars. Don't walk right down the middle. And no, I am not a cast member."
"Brazil. Don't go to the favelas (slums), it's usually not save for people that don't live there. Even worst don't go without someone that knows or lives there. I honestly don't get why so many tourists want to go to the worst part of the country."
"In France : don't ever sign a young deaf girl's petition (she's actually not deaf at all) she's just doing this to make money. And no, don't buy this amazing gold ring this old lady found on the floor right behind you.."
"Poland:
Maybe not never, but be cautious while getting a cab at the airport/train stations. Most of the guys will try to rip foreigners off.
Also, never leave our country without trying traditional polish cuisine, because it's awesome. I recommend some pierogi, bigos, żurek and zapiekanka."
"USA here. Whistling at a waiter."
"Dublin, Ireland (didn't realise there was so many dublin's): don't go to Temple bar, tourists always stop to ask directions, i try and tell them there are nicer, much less expensive places, but because all the guide books tell them it's the place to be they don't want to listen."
"Venezuela : Show $ in cash on the sreets or any kind of smartphone."
"Singapore: Act like we cannot speak English, insult the elderly, or criticise the working class (meaning stuff like the public transport and things working class people use), or do crimes and expect the law to be lenient to you because you're a foreigner.
We may not react to you irl but the passive aggressiveness will turn into a sh#tstorm online as swarms of wrathful keyboard warriors descend upon your sins."
"Have [your] windows rolled down. In Tijuana especially. You'll be guilted into buying so many f@#king churros."
"Don't get a traditional tattoo and then go get it covered up when you leave... I'm not Maori so I don't have much of an understanding of the beliefs of it all, but I'm pretty darn sure that's not something you should do. They aren't going to welcome you back and look at you in the same light very easily. Looking at you Rihanna
