How to behave in a foreign country? When going on a trip, experienced tourists learn information about the etiquette rules and the sights of the country they are going to visit. Because if you don’t know the subtleties of the rules that the locals have, you might find yourself in an awkward situation. You could give someone the wrong gift in China, or offend your cab driver in Australia by sitting there quietly minding your own business.

This is why locals forgive a lot of the mistakes that tourists make. But the people that don’t want to look rude have to follow all the rules as carefully as possible.
