Travel Etiquette

Share a cultural insight about a particular destination that you were surprised to learn while researching your trip or about which, during your trip, you ended up saying, “I wish I'd known.”

For example, in Japan and South Korea, placing your hands in your pants pockets is a gesture perceived as rude and arrogant.
