18 THINGS YOU SHOULDN'T DO ABROAD




those are the thing that we should avoid when we are abroad. but what is the reason for that? 

REASONS NOT TO DO IT :

  • France - asking about money is impolite in many countries but French sometimes treat this critically.
  • Ukraine - people in Ukraine as well as in most Slavic countries bring even number of flower to the cemeteries.
  • New Zealand - when you are honking in NZ, it means that you strongly disagree with his or her reaction and it also used when you want to insult another driver.
  • India - kissing or holding hand are forbidden because it considered as something inappropriate to do in public
  • Japan - Japanese are proud to provide the best  service as standard without waiting for the tips
  • Mexico - locals love to make jokes and they are generally fun and innocent
  • Norway - Many people don't go to church at all, so it would be rude to ask
  • Turkey - this is an obscene gesture in turkey
  • UK - such behavior is usually condemned
  • Ireland - the locals don't think that they have any accent at all
  • Germany - the people believe that the person may not live to the birthday if they are being congratulated with it beforehand
  • Kenya - as symbol of respect toward others. only do it when someone has called you by the name first
  • Chile - it s all about the manners here.
  • USA - tipping is obligatory 
  • Italy - Italians only drink cappuccino for breakfast
  • Hungary - though it is an old habit, some people still prefer to avoid clinking glasses especially when drinking beer
  • China - they believed clock and umbrella bring bad luck when given as presents 


based on all the taboos that has been listed above, I have been attracted to one of of it which is " Do not order cappuccino in restaurant ". besides, the reason behind it also make me feel more curious since cappuccino is one of the famous Italian coffee.


the Italians only drink cappuccino during breakfast is because they firmly convince that drinking milk after any meal will mess up the ability to digest food properly. So, in Italy it is unthinkable if you are having cappuccino at any time after lunch or dinner.

Lastly, I think that if the fact drinking milk after any meal will mess up our ability to digest food is true thus, we as a Malaysian also need to take some action regarding this things. It is because we also need to make sure that our body is always in a healthy condition in order to become a more productive person.
