Iceland
In Iceland and other Scandinavian countries, in most indoor and outdoor swimming pools, it is mandatory to shower naked before entering the water for hygiene reasons. You go from the wardrobe in a swimsuit or swimsuit or bikini to the open showers in the wardrobe, take off everything there, soap your body and wash your hair. Signs indicate that this procedure is mandatory. Shower gel and shampoo are available.

from Borneo
As a tourist, you can visit the Iban people of Borneo, the island’s indigenous ethnic group. The program includes cooking meals for visitors. If an Iban wants to give food to a tourist and the guest is no longer hungry, he is not allowed to push him away or verbally indicate that he is full. Instead, he needs to reach for food or drink. Specifically: You stick your finger into the rice or whatever glass you are offered or the glass containing the drink.

Thailand
You may mean well, but stroking a child’s head with your hand or touching them in any other way is frowned upon in Thailand. Buddhist teaching says that the soul resides in the head, which is the highest point of the body. For this reason, it is considered sacred even among adults. The soles of the feet are considered particularly dirty. They should keep tourists away from a Thai person’s gaze. Even if they’re sitting on the floor.

Mauritius
Good to know: The island state and honeymoon paradise has implemented a strict ban on vaping and e-cigarettes since July 2023, as has long been the case in many other countries. The ban also applies to imports. Anyone who ignores this will face heavy fines. In general, Mauritius is not a suitable destination for smokers. Even “regular” cigarettes can only be consumed in designated areas that are never particularly inviting. Smoking is prohibited in hotel rooms and in your own vehicles.
5
Sri Lanka
In Sri Lanka, it is considered rude to eat with a guest, essentially eating part of the meal away from the guest. Everyone invited to a family’s home sits alone at the table, while the hosts stand nearby and watch. Maybe the head of the family will sit down and chat sometime. Sri Lankans only eat when they are ready when they know someone very well. Otherwise only when the person leaves the apartment or house.
