  1. I asked for a coke with lunch in Amsterdam. I was told by my host that coke is normally given to children and adults do not drink coke with a meal. It was a surprise to me.

  2. This article is misleading. These are things you can do in other countries that are rude there. They are not rude here. I think the article needs a different title.

  3. I was in Lagos Nigeria and tipped the driver of the security van. Later I was told one I over tipped and two it was rude to do so. I felt terrible.

  4. There are enough interesting places to go, things to see, and people to meet right here in my country, that there is no conceivable reason to travel outside the United States of America.

    I was interested in the piece, but gave up on the unreadable presentation.

  6. This is so BS. Blowing your nose? Would they prefer that we let snot drip down our lip and lick it off? How repulsive would THAT be? I just made myself gag, eww
