“To do” example entries:
-
France
When you enter a shop (bakery, cafe, etc.), it's polite to greet the owner/attendant. A simple "Bonjour!" will do! --Dave -
United States
ALWAYS leave a 15-20% tip for waitstaff, they live off their tips. Restaurants pay below poverty wages & tips are shared --Kmh260
“NOT to do” example entries:
-
Lithuania
Do not try to speak Russian to Lithuanians, we have our own Lithuanian language. It is not similar to Russian, so don't ask if it is. Lithuania was occupied by Russia twice, and Lithuanian language was banned in 19th century, so it is a very delicate topic. --Lilith -
United States
If you're a woman, don't wear white to the wedding, that color is reserved for the bride --Caliman
