What's the most embarrassing thing you've done when visiting other countries?
Dropping the soap on a public bathroom....
The most embarrassing/annoying thing tourists do in Scotland is call our country england and call us english this is mostly done by Americans and is resented by everyone.
Flushed the toilet paper in Guatemala. It blocks the pipes. I wasn't welcomed back to the hotel.
Forgetting german when speaking to a german on the channel crossing. Dont pronounce names wrong on the tube. Its just funny how people do this. Dont invade personal space. Dont call UK England or Welsh/Scottish people English. DEFINATLEY dont forget about NI. Im from uk btw
@@michael6722 yep.
I live in Japan and you shouldn’t tip. they will quite literally chase you to give you your extra money you left.
only if they don't like money.
let them I'm not taking it.
@@suzycreamcheesez4371 That is cool. just don't be offended if someone tries. We are just so used to it. I read that Guides and interpreter may take it but don't expect it. I wonder why? maybe to keep the guests at ease or something.
@Pineapqles I understand that but people in some countries are just used to giving tips and there is no judgement.
There needs to be an international standard of tipping so we all know exactly what to do.
You can't just assume I go outside

Isn’t it rude everywhere to get in a argument about someone’s religion I’ve never been to Saudi Arabia but I don’t think I’d do such a thing in any country
Yes true
It's their religion
They can do whatever they want
In a place as backwards as the middle east it is especially dangerous to do so, we're considered Infidels by most Islamic followers
This part was directed to atheists
But of course if you start talking about piissllaam something bad will come up . I'm an ex muslimm
Especially Arabia because of the head chopping
Isn't being loud and screaming on your phone rude everywhere
Yep so rude we either politly cough to get ur attention or we might take your phone if u are disrupting lots of people
In the USA you get shot if you annoy people by being loud in public.
In South East Asia, people scream at each other
Not in Italy
@we schleep not true
It's also rude going in Japan screaming in a hat throwing fish on cars and finding a person who committed suicide and posting it on youtube
Edit: thank you so much most likes I have ever gotten

Literally every introverted tourist: 😎 Perfect
I mean, they’re not wrong
As a Swede, I can confirm
Talk loudly is rude EVERYWHERE...really...please don't.
Exept Italy,Scream as loud as you want XD
I'm from Argentina and we talk very loud. Sometimes heard that it is in our genes. during ww2 a Lot of immigrants (mostly from spain and italy but Also Japan, Russia and germany like my grandparents) scape from their countries and came here, creating a country with a Lot of diversity. Today the 90% of the people of my country were immigrant descendant. Our loud speaking is attribued to italian descendants so i think there's a little of true in there 😂 forgive my English!
Sometimes I talk loud when I get excited about something. I don't even realize sometimes and sometimes you just have tell me. The only time I yell is my mom is driving me nuts or telemarketers that won't give up.
Are you making fun of our (american) accent? >:(
When shopping my son is excited and I have to tell him to chill.
"Loud Americans, do not be loud in public -"
**Meanwhile, Logan Paul**
I feel many people forget how big it is here in the states.. where I live in Montana we find it very rude to be load in public as well.
Right

I’m American and when he said Americans are friendly i was genuinely confused
Maybe he was talking about customer service. I felt that way with customer service when I visited, just because I'm not used to being served by someone trying really hard to please me. I also understand my experience could just be a result of someone trying to get a big tip, In which case is some what insincere.
It's usually a regional thing. Like in the southeast there's a plethora of that so called, "superficial politeness," and it's common to answer with "Sir," or "Ma'am," respective of gender. Though conversely, in North East it's fairly common to be apathetic and curt towards strangers. I'm from the former, and have only been to the latter once, but everyone I know whose been up north tells me the same thing.
@@tumuakiblandford5401 yeah unfortunately americans need to try hard to get tips because they can't live off of their salary, tips are a huge part of their income
@@ryanjp77 oh I absolutely agree, relying on tips because your wage doesn’t cover minimum living expenses would be horrible, luckily I never had to live that way but I really do feel for the Americans that do.
How can you be confused.
You are literally greeting each other with “How are you”
And don’t even expect an real answer^^
In case you come to Spain:
- No, we don't have parties 24/7.
- No, we won't tolerate alcohol abuse or massive parties, especially if drunk people get aggresive. Don't do any of them unless you want the police to get called or want to spend the night arrested in a cell.
- Yes, we are sometimes a bit loud. But if in a certain moment people are quiet, be quiet. Otherwise, people will feel uncomfortable around you.
- Yes, we tend to treat most people like we already knew them.
- Yes, meals are usually quite plentiful and, most importantly, we stay for hours sitting at the table talking after lunch.
- Tipping the waiters is just a personal preference. Do it just of you think the service was outstanding.
- Don't feel awkward if people you don't know wave at you or greet. It's completely normal.
- Not everyone in Spain can speak English, but a lot of people do. If you know some simple Spanish words like "hola", "gracias", "por favor" or "adiós", we'll me happy to know that at least you're trying to learn our language. Don't be afraid of making mistakes, we know it's quite hard.
Have fun!
La Quinta por favor!
Mr Me i would visit spain if i wasnt stuck on top of Bara Dur
Your country has horrible food and rude people. In case no one told you.
Ive been to rota
The elders are rude
Women are hot
Parties are wild
Euros are weird and surcharges are high at atm
Beaches are fantasic
Airports makes no sense
Locals are friendly and guiding if you know little spanish.
Would go back in a heart beat.
Well, here in Brazil the thing about waving is quite contrary,some people are so rude that even knowing you for a year or so dont greet you in the streets or even pass in front of you and dont do it, just ridiculous
One time my dad got something from a store in Japan and needed to use the microwave they had there for some reason but didn’t know how to use it. So he asked a guy “hey how do you hot hot machine?” And the guy responded in perfect English “Do you want to turn on the microwave?”
😂 That’s hilarious! Considering that Japanese will not speak English in front of strangers unless they’re fluent: making a mistake would be embarrassing
You have to try and speak fluent English *before* leveling it down of they still don't understand.
@@kawaiiamarii2240 Exactly. If anyone judged my English just by where I was born, I would be very offended.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
A prominent church pastor once told the story of where a guy he knew was attending an international conference and was eating dinner with the foreign guests (they were from a multitude of countries). The guy didn't know if the man beside him knew English, so he tried starting conversation by making loud chewing noises and saying "Mmmmm good, eh?" The foreigner looked at him very strangely and then moments later was called to speak at the podium in the room. The foreigner, to the guy's horror, spoke perfect English and gave a whole speech. Then, at the end, he cleared his throat and said, "glub glub, mmmm good, eh?" The American guy died of embarrassment. The moral of this story, the pastor said, is KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE and NEVER assume a language problem.
As an Indian i love how this channel brought out very important and yet unnoticeable things too. Especially the shoes part, Im impressed!

In Greenland, complaining about the cold weather is an insult showing you're ungrateful for where you are.

Same thing applies to tropical countries, but the other way around.

I'm from Fiji, and while we are known to be VERY friendly, we are somewhat conservative. I remember going to a bakery one morning to see some western tourists whispering amongst themselves and laughing. Nothing wrong with that... Except that their "whispering" was actually flipping loud indeed. I knew it was rude, but I couldn't help but stare at them for how clueless they were about the noise they were making.
We Fijians, while friendly, have a culture of silence. We are noisy party animals indeed but in ordinary circumstances we are usually quiet and generally soft spoken
Sounds like i might like Fiji
I (from Europe) forgot to give tips when I went to the US. We always wondered why people were mad at us!
In the US, the servers do not get paid much per hour. They make their money from tips.
Well atleast you know now. Servers make less than minimum wage in the US and have to tip out the bartender, busser, host, and foodrunner a portion of their sales. If you dont tip them that money comes out of their own pocket. Also most places you can not mention a tip to your guest or youll be fired so even if they know you probably dont know, they cant tell you.
That's just because servers regular wage is like 2.60 a hr so they live off tips and you only get so many tables a night most high end places a gratuity to the bill so the tips included but the places that don't you really need that tip I get it though the y'all arent really used to Tipping i never thought Foreigner meant anything by it
If I go to the us I’ll try to drop at least a dollar of on my way out with a note apologising for my parents not knowing
I'm an American living in America and I like to tip for good service but I can't stand giving a tip at Starbucks or any other high priced coffee shop lower the price of your coffee down to something reasonable and then maybe they'll be a tip

1. Smoking in front of someones baby
2. Not tipping waiters
3. Not bringing a gun or a knife to a school

@@cinnamon4 I dont think you can buy a grenade...

It's concerning when they say Americans are doing things that aren't okay in US.
Wearing my grandfathers military uniform in Germany was one of my mistakes
My chinese friend wore an NVA pith helmet while going to US becuase it was hot.
He never heard the end of it.
@CJ Collins I don't think that's the problem...😐
You should not wear military uniform anyway. If you are not forces or ex forces, then you are pissing all of us off. All as in the WORLD, it is stolen valor.

HaloFan312 My Vietnamese cousin saw me wearing a Vietnam veteran hat in a gift shop one time and got pissed cause my uncle barely got out of their alive. 😪
Want to go to France?
*me:* Yes yes
_Learn French first!_
*me:* 😑
D'accord.
I was fine without frech
I ain't going then i don't know any other languages just English
You can go without leaning French, just ask: “Anglai?” and await a response. If they say “Non” then point to what you want on the menu and say: “Sil voo play” hopefully they’ll understand and go and get what you want. When they bring it say: “Merci” and enjoy your meal 😊
Or use google translate
Very accurate tips about Brazil, as a brazilian I can confirm that eating with your hands is actually really weird around here
I'm Spanish, I can't exactly say the "universal" reasons that apply to the whole country; but I can certain say these:
1. When asking someone for directions in english (or simply talk to them) please, speak slowly, not everyone is fluent in english and it's pretty difficult to understand certain accents.
2. A lot of people think that Spanish people speaks loud (even in public), this used to be a thing (at least in my city [thankfully] people usually don't speak loud in public anymore). But DON'T do it, seriously, only rude and hick people do that.
3. In Spain a lot of people likes to hug or kiss (in the cheeks) when meeting someone (when it's not something formal), I don't like that thing either but a lot of people consider it rude to denied it, I suggest you to simply extend your hand when meeting someone, that'll avoid that close contact and offending the other person.
4. Also also, we have the stigma about bulls, well, I can guarantee you that not everyone likes it and you definitely avoid making fun of it or even question about it; I personally don't mind tell you the few thing I know but a lot of people will be troubled, ashamed or even pretty mad.
I hope that someone would find this useful.
When you go through cities in Germany nowadays you'll find a lot of people who are extremely loud in public shouting at their phones and so on. Funnily all of them are Turks, Arabs or people from the Balkans.
Given the current covid situation I don't think you need to worry about hugs or kisses anymore. Or travel, for that matter.
I love spain and spanish people dude..
Your Mexican not spanish
@Daneel Olivaw Yup that's true
in canada its not polite to pour fake aunt jemma maple syrup on ur pancakes
Exactly it's very disrespectful! You can only use the real deal, the good stuff.
sorry ;)
True True True!! Or to say we're just like Americans, or not hold the door.
what brand of syrup is it for canadians
In Canada its not polite to park your moose on the lawn
or not tipping in maple syrup... and always keep your pet polar bears leashed.
Don't forget to not have loud parties on your igloo.
Wait, okay so my friend said that if you assault someone robbing your house, you can get sued by the burglar and get imprisoned. And nothing will happen to the burglar.
Fred Bread dont forget that if you do that you will be punished by having to send a sorry note to whoevers lawn your moose was on.
Little racist but um just a pinch
This is why I'd do my research first before traveling places I've never been to.
In Canada, (depending on where you are) it's quite rude to not say thank you for things. Not saying thank you for things either small or big is rude.
Surely that’s just universal, decent behavior
Bold of you to assume that I can afford to travel outside my room
You tip in America, but definitely don’t try doing it in Japan! Cheers from Japan, and great video!
Ilko Allexandroff why
@@lakhallkaften3222 because its insulting to them, like most of the world, they get all our wages from pay. Good service is expected there, and they get paid for it. They dont need it or even want the tips, they will literally chase you down the street to return your money.
The tipping rule in america is bogus, the waiters already get paid to do their job, so having to fork out extra because s/he brought your food over to you like they get paid to because its their job, is just stupid.
I never tip at all
@@psychofury6485 actually, in America, waitors are paid below minimum wage, so they need the tip, but it SHOULD be based upon satisfaction
@@richardwade6301 yeah, but the point is they get paid to do a job, tipping should be the customers choice, not mandatory. Noone expects a tip in NZ, its more just a "keep the change" sorta thing.
I spoke Spanish in Brazil, not because I didn't know they speak Portuguese, but because I found the people around me understood 75% or more of what I was saying. And after a day or two of getting used to the different pronunciation, I understood about 75% of what they were saying. The people I was with did not seem to be offended, when they introduced me they would mention that I speak "castellano" (that was the word they used). I definitely think speaking Spanish enhanced my trip because I was able to talk to local people, at least to some extent.

In Belgium it's very rude to say : French fries
@@diaachria2882 you can call them just fries in Flanders it call frieten but you can say fries they will understand you in Wallonië they speak French and might not understand you . I hope this helps and if it doesn't help ask me.
In fries it’s very rude to say : Belgium
Actually the term 'french fries' is invested by ignorent americans in ww1. Where french speaking belgiums would offer them fries. And because they where speaking french, it was named 'french fries'.
It's "Pommes" if I remember correctly...
Roel Gillis what is a belgium? I only know south-netherlands.
For German, Dutch and perhaps Nordic people: be very aware that the natural distinction made in these countries between what someone does and who someone is does not translate to other cultures.
For example, if you go to the US and someone enthusiastically talks to you about their sport, favorite music etc., don’t say you don’t particularly care for that sport, music, etc. Particularly if it’s a sport or instrument they play, your comment will be taken as a comment about them as a person
I'm from the US and I've always found that so weird! If they mention something and you tell them that you don't like it, it's not a jab at that person. I don't get why people don't realize that. If it was a comment such as, "You're so dumb for liking that sport!" Then I'd understand but most of the time it's not!
A Brit here - less embarrasing things here, more advice.
Don’t wear skimpy clothing. You will be too cold.

In Finland, shoes off in house! It is considered very rude to go someone's house and not take shoes off
My mom grew up in Thailand, and the pointers in this video were accurate. In addition to the ones mentioned, not only is it rude to put your feet "too close" to another person's head, it can also be done from as distance, if you even point your foot at someone's head. Also, the custom of leaving ones shoes at the door when entering a house, as mentioned in the India segment of the video, is also followed in Thailand. As an American, I can also say that another thing we can be touchy about is personal space, as mentioned in the Sweden segment. It is considered rude to get too physically close to someone, unless it is an immediate family member or your significant other.
It seems your Sweden design at 5:17 is actually an Iceland one, with its flag, puffins, and the church of Reykjavik.
Yeah. I'm from Sweden. And I dont like it
lmao you’re right
I'd hope for something resembling Stockholm or Göteborg but apparently Iceland is Sweden.
Concidering how most US citizens seem to talk about Europe as a country id say they're close enough
Americans...
Coming from a no-tipping country where it's considered rude to leave tip, this is by far the most confusing part of travelling.
Yeah it's crazy how the U.S. adopted tipping and spread it throughout the country. I don't understand it.
@@TewChains As I understand it, tipping was encouraged during The Great Depression as restaurant owners simply didn't have enough money to pay their staff sometimes. It became ingrained in the culture, and now, waiters and waitresses rely on tips for more than 70% of their wages most of the time. Basically, they put the burden of making sure their employees actually get paid fairly on the consumer. No American I know likes the system, but the reality is that if you don't tip, you're effectively denying an employee their pay, so we begrudgingly do it and everyone just acts like the whole process isn't completely absurd.
@@Katastrophe9009 Interesting, I thought it started throughout the late 19th century after the civil war, but your explanation makes much more sense. Thanks for clearing it up
Tik Tok
What? Tipping can’t be rude! You’re thanking your waiter by giving them a little extra cash!
@@madjaster9620 Why not just say thank you? Some will think of tipping as charity.
In Australia remember to thank the bus driver when you get on and off the bus.
On trains and trams we have peak hour(silent hour), look up peak hours in your city so you don’t get stares.
Always ask for permission in the outback.
STAY BETWEEN THE FLAGS!!!!
Im from New York, where I will scream out my truck window, "F*** you, you F***in F***" in traffic. But I always thank the bus drivers. It's just common courtesy.

Kayra Şener we thank them as we step off. We may say Hi and ask how are you when stepping on bus, but we always tend to say thank you!
It's also custom to take your shoes off when entering a home in Sweden.
Philippines aswell
Literally thats most country's including the US
We do that a lot in Asian countries
I do that all the time
All slavs do that
Best advice for when I plan to go to Japan! Thank you infographics
5:50: dude the Swedes got the social distancing thing figured out before us.
Remember, when in America, stay on the side walks because we don't know how to drive.
In Brazil, most people actually don't make a fuss or get mad when a foreigner makes a faux pas. Just relax. People won't yell, call the police or punch your nose. Anyway, here are some courtesy tips:
1 - Don't get offended if someone calls you "gringo". It may be a derogatory term in some Latin american countries but in Brazil it only means "foreign person". Examples: (1) Duas cervejas, por favor. Uma para mim e outra para o gringo aqui. Two pints, please. One for me, one for the gringo. (2) Se você quer aprender inglês mais rápido, procure um professor gringo. If you want a faster English learning, hire a gringo teacher (3) As informações desse anúncio estão confusas. Os gringos não vão entender. The information on this ad are confusing. The gringos won't understand.
2 - You can speak Spanish but make sure you're sorry for not speaking Portuguese. Please be careful, some words in Spanish are misleading in Portuguese and vice versa.
3 - DON'T SMELL. We may be poor, but we're very concerned about our personal hygiene. Please make sure your armpits have no trace of BO.
4 - If you are invited for a (INFORMAL) party scheduled for 10 pm, it means you are expected to arrive at 10:30 pm
5 - Learn that (except death) "every problem or situation can be solved with a "jeitinho".
AN Feuerstahl I so relate to this, being from Brazil.

Thank you for bringing up Sweden. Swedes do speak English very well. But when we unexpectedly stumble on someone English spoken person without being prepared for a language switch then our English can come across as a bit rusty. We need to "warm-up" the English language skills since we speak our native language on a daily basis.
every country speaks its own language on a daily basis i think
This is very true, I go to school in a big city in Sweden and I’ve been approached countless times by tourists or non-swedish speakers and a few of those times I was caught completely off guard and got a little anxious because I’m an introvert and very shy, which makes me think that they’ll judge my mispronunciations and Swedish accent.
If you don’t shout ‘WHEYYYYY’ at the top of your lungs when someone smashes a glass in the pub or bar in the UK then it greatly offends us
Man I love your videos 💙
Please be careful when approaching *_the swede_* as it is very socially awkward.
I'm more awkward than both.
@Chickenosis As a Norwegian I can confirm.
I thought it was us Finns.

As a Brit its pretty disrespectful to try to provoke the Queens Guard when on duty, tourists forget that they are highly trained soldiers of the British Army and a cultural icon for the country.
STEP AWAY FROM THE QUEEN'S GUARD!
Really? Yeah that is extremely rude... never even been there but I've heard of them man really shouldn't do that.
It's not disrespectful its just stupid. Besides a large minority in the UK want to be disrespectful to the Royal family. Or just get rid of them.
Concreteowl its disrespectful to the army and their service men and women though
Yea if they wanted they could really hurt u if ur a threat to them ur a threat to the queen
Great video

Colombians love to hear compliments about our country, so if a Colombian asks "how have you liked Colombia or our food" and you answer "it's OK" or the Canadian "not too bad", locals might take it as arrogant or diminishing
If they think that's arrogant then they're arrogant.

Venezuelans are fleeing their country due to the political turmoil and economic crisis so the more educated and well positioned are leaving for North America or Europe while all those without money or eduction quite often literally walk all the way to Colombia, Perú, Ecuador and Brasil
@@EspiritualidadCiencia that explains the border issue i've heard in brazil.
I wish them luck, but Venezuela isn't going anywhere good soon
Logan Paul can learn a thing or two from this video

Gengonglike Arbukle no he didn’t,all he did was make money off of someone who died,

The tips about Sweden is really true.
tips for uk visitors:
don't provoke or touch the guardsmen. they are real soldiers and also carry live ammunition in their rifles. they won't hesitate in shouting or screaming at you.
don't ever discuss your salary about your job. you're bound to create resentment with others.
don't cut in line. this will piss off a lot of people and you'll get yelled at.
and another favourite one, don't stand on the left on the escalators unless you're walking down or running. if someone shoves you aside because you were standing on the left, don't get upset or angry.
I’ve seen videos of people touching the guardsmen. The guard will yell, “Do not touch the Queen’s Guard!” People need to let them do their job.
I’m also aware that the guardsmen will continue to march even if someone or something is in their path, which I don’t understand.
Haha i know that
maqz malone also don’t show emotion if you whant to be really polite
Very similar thinks too keep in mind if your coming too Norway:) (we also have guardsmen in our capitol. And yeah personal space is important, and do not be very noisy or rude in public, mutual respect and equality is very important too us.
Yeh I'm a Brit, what do you mean about the escalator thing? Do you mean make sure everyone is on one side so people can pass?
7:00 same in the UK, if you come here and talk loudly you will get death stares haha
Same in Australia
Same in The US
Also what’s with the time stamp
Same everywhere

If you come to turkey, people will find you a warm person and like you
I'm a smoker from the U.S. who now lives in Spain. My friends here always laugh when I walk away from the group to smoke, and tell me not to worry about it. But I can't escape the discomfort I feel when smoking near non-smokers.

Thanks!
I was shocked in Italy when we went to a bar with some local friends and we had to pay for the drinks after instead of at the bar when you order them. At the end of the night we (the foreigners) left without paying because we were so used to paying at the start of the night that we had just unconsciously assumed we'd already paid and the next day our local friends explained to us that we didn't pay and they needed us to give them money for the bill. 😂
I am from Brazil, I can confirm that the language thing is true, and so is the ok sign. Also, when my Brazilian family eats pizza there they dont always eat with a knife and fork, but still, I get where you're going. Brazilians are usually quite nice people too, but of course there are people out there who will be offended very easily.
Great video!
Eating pizza with your hand in italy is also looked up upon as barbaric as well as ordering ketchup to your pizza, could happen that the chef comes out of the kitchen and ask you (very rude) what your problem is whit his pizza
What kind of person eats ketchup on their pizza??? That should be seen as barbaric everywhere.
I'll do the same of they put ketsuo on my pizza..
That's a inhuman crime 😂
What? That's not true, most people here eat pizza with their hands
I've tried ordering stuff in French, they just look at you like you drooled on yourself anyway and answer in embarrassingly good English.
I'm a Canadian. When I go to Quebec, every time I asked something in French, they would reply in English. Presuming that my French is awful. French is my mothertogue but didn't practice it enough when I reached high school.
@I'm full of foods I know.
@@jakebeaudry3888
Fear not, when Quebecers come to France, we have a (bad) habit of talking to them in English as we really have difficulties dealing with their accent.
@@mustapha9918 Similar, I live in Eastern Ontario and our dialect differ somewhat to our Quebecois cousin.
@Random videos To be fair, the Quebecois aren't as polite as the French but they are lay back when you do get their good side. I do greet them in French as well with their common greeting word "Allô". Yes, I know that the Quebecois tend to get offended if you speak English to them. They are more protectionist then their European counterpart.

When my mom was younger, she went to Italy. One of the men said “Ciao, Bella!” to her, and she flipped him off.
*Yeah that didn’t end well*
Emilia Jones it’s a thing from the south
I would definitely do the same thing (I'm a guy).
Well that means "Hello, Beautiful"
Not that offensive I guess
@@tazwaruddinmahir1591 my mother didn’t like being talked down to her, so you can see why she did that.
To people who would "do the same thing". You aren't in your country, this is cultural difference. Which should be respected and not judged.
here's a tip when you visit Egypt
don't
run for your life..
Why
Japan also frowns upon placing chopsticks straight up and down in a a bowl of rice as it’s used that way in shrines for the dead.
I’ve seen people bow to Chinese and I always get a kick it of that.
Japan, China AND Korea. You know how some tourists stick their spoons/chopsticks in their rice? It's a big NO.
Also fucking finishing all the rice in the damn bowl
My cousin likes to bow to people has nothing to do with Asian culture. Cracks me up whenever he does it to people he's just met and they get confused and bow in return XD we're not Asian
Im asian, not Japenese but we have the same deal with chopsticks
Man sounds like just don't do it anywhere
mistake #1 getting out of your home
I'm French and yes, it is absolutely true that 90% of the country doesn't speak English. Everytime I hear some tourists trying to speak English in a shop I usually insert myself in the conversation to be the translator. But I wouldn't say it is an embarrassment to speak English to the waiter or anyone else, the only thing that's gonna happen is that you're going to irritate the person because for some reason, French people tend to think that they are the only people in the entire world who do not need to learn English, and that you should be the one learning French. (If I wanted to analyse that behavior, I'd say it goes back to last century when France had a lot of colonies and French was spoken in a lot of countries. And it still is, like in Africa for example, but aside from business men and a few other people, France didn't get the memo that English is the "universal" language now)
I went to France last year. I took high school french 20 years ago. They were very appreciative and friendly as I struggled to speak to them in french, even though most of them were fluent in english.
In Iceland you shouldn't tip workers. It signifies that you think they make low wages and can be looked upon as a rude gesture. How ever, we are getting used to tourists trying to tip because of the massive tourist traffic in Iceland the last few years. So giving a tip isn't as offensive as it used to be. Usually any tips that are offered will be declined and at most you might get some stink eye from doing it. Icelanders don't expect tips or gifts from tourists. We pick up hitchhikers a lot and we rarely ask for gas money unless it's out of the way. The only thing we expect from tourists is to respect our country, culture and ESPECIALLY our nature. Iceland lives off its nature, our nature brings in money, provides food and happiness. Ruining our nature will ruin our country. Therefore we had to set some laws. Just ripping up some moss or driving off road can net you a fine up to $3.000USD, and anything worse than that can get you a higher fine or even jail time followed with a high fine. We welcome everyone to our country, just remember; don't tip and don't go destroying our nature.
Childish Swanky you have the same tipping policy as in Norway then:) we also enforce strict nature laws as we also love our nature. We harvest alot from nature (excelt oil) heh but yeah I would think Icelandic and Norwegian culture is very similiar in general.
Tipping is a scam made by American employers, so they could pay their employees less money.
Well. I know it’s seen as rude, but just to let you know. Most of the time we tip because the service was amazing and worth more than we are paying. So don’t take it as offensive, it’s actually a compliment. (Mostly.)
@@briapryor1709 some people just have different outlooks on tipping.
If i go to Iceland ill just walk unless its VERY far away, and ill make sure not to even get close to the road when im walking so u dont slow down anyones drive or potentially get someone fired at work for being late, if i go to a resturaunt ill just give the waiter as much as the food costs, and ill wear a surgeons mask when im sick so i dont cough on anyone or thing
This video should be renamed "Embarrassing Tourist Mistakes Americans Make In Different Countries" LMAO
Almost all of these can be applied to ALL tourists even the ones coming from Asia and South America. Europeans travel in pretty much the same manner as North Americans. I've seen plenty of loud Germans, Dutch and French offend the locals in all parts of the world.

@@1srnastornorit.384 infographics showed a picture that had an islandic flag xD
i think it should represent like all of the scandinavian countries.
If you come to Hong Kong, make sure you always stand on the right side of the escalator. The left side is normally open so people who are in a rush can walk or run up the escalator.
The Italy part made me laugh a lot 😂 (I'm Italian)
Don't have to worry about this because I'm too poor to travel- **cries in poor-ness**
Yea... Me too, I never fly to other country
No we on Brazil dont care to someone eating with hands
But speak spanish is suicide
WE HATE THIS PLZ DONT DO THAT
So spanish speaking tourists are not allowed to speak there language to each other?
Nicholas Orndoff well of course thy can talk to EACH OTHER in their language. But not to the Brazilian people.
When I went to Brazil, I also spoke to them in spanish. Not because I didnt know they spoke portugese, but because I didnt know the language and when speaking in spanish they could kind of understand me and I could kind of understand them. Its just simpler :)
@@elninoindigena8510 Maybe you should to learn our language before you come here
