World’s Worst Cultural Mistakes
In February, I gave a short lesson in Global Dining Etiquette—a humorous quiz that challenged what you know about food culture around the world. Travel+Leisure gives some further advice on “cultural mistakes” that could land you in tourist hell if you aren’t aware including:
-
Where and when it’s customary to touch someone
-
Using your left hand in certain countries to avoid really offending someone
-
Which countries encourage “textile-free”
-
Where you should take off your shoes
-
Who should pour your drink
Check out the article, bookmark it, and refer to it before making your next round-the-world adventure so you end up being an ideal traveler welcome in any culture.
