Q5 Have you had any experiences where you didn't understand the cultural etiquette or you needed to learn something new?


replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A5: Hell ya! :-) And I am still learning. #pttravel

A5 #PTTravel Got a few basics about Australian First Nations culture, but couldn't get as deep as I'd like because there are a lot of things that can't be divulged to anyone outside the tribe.

A5 Traveling in southern Belgium and northern France while "speaking" only broken French is both good and bad that you don't know the etiquette. #PTTravel

A5 #pttravel Turkey was kind of a culture shock when it came to how aggressive the merchants were. Be careful how much you stop to look, you might be pulled into someone’s shop. If a man speaking fluent English talks to you at the Blue Mosque, he wants to sell you a rug.


#PTTravel Chat A5: I think most places we've tried to read about cultural etiquette but when you experience it first time mistakes are going to happen; its part of the travel journey. Admit your mistake, most people understand. Middle East was toughest from that point

@kate_frankie A5 Before I went to Japan, I binge watched videos like this so I would not cause offence. As it turned out, Japanese people on the whole are very relaxed about tourists making mistakes and I didn’t have to worry too much.
