“People very rarely visit each other’s houses here. If people don't invite you to their home, don't be offended.”

People Are Sharing What Tourists Never Realize About Their Home Country Until They Arrive, And It’s Fascinating

"Netherlands: We are not hospitable people by culture and we always eat dinner at 18:00 . If there are visitors in the house, we always gently shoo them out if it is near 18:00. Dining with a Dutch person is quite rare.""We don’t have a culinary tradition at all here. For us, breaking bread is not a ritual. Food is fuel, that’s all. I’m personally not like that, but many of us are.

"Turkey: Avoid restaurants in touristy places, places that actively try to attract tourists, and taxis as much as possible. And Istanbul is a city full of hills, so be prepared for some cardio. Also, avoid talking about politics." "In Taiwan, cash is still the number one form of payment and many places may not accept cards at all. The number four is unlucky and left off many elevators, just like 13 in the States. Kitchens are seen as unnecessary in many apartments because eating out is so cheap and convenient."

"German efficiency seems to go out of the window when it comes to anything to do with the government. Old gray buildings full of people gripping to pieces of paper with their number on it, hoping that they are queuing in the correct line for their query. Also, official documentation is written in such a way that leaves even native speakers second guessing what they might actually mean."
