What should I absolutely not do when visiting your country?
當(dāng)我去別的國家時(shí)有什么絕對禁忌嗎？
Japan：
在日本：
Don't tip anyone. No one. NO ONE.Tipping is just not part of the culture. Don't even leave the small change. People will come running after you with it. Seriously.
不要給任何人小費(fèi)。不要給。千萬別給！日本不興給小費(fèi)，甚至連找零都不要留下來，收銀員會(huì)追著把錢還給你的，真的，不騙你。
Don't go into people's homes with your shoes on. You may run into this at certain temples and shrines, restaurants or traditional inns too. If you see other people taking their shoes off, do the same.
去別人家里一定要脫鞋，有的時(shí)候你去某些寺廟、神社、餐廳甚至傳統(tǒng)旅館都要脫鞋。如果你看到別人脫鞋了，那你就跟著一起脫吧。

在進(jìn)浴缸前一定要把自己洗洗干凈，尤其是在進(jìn)溫泉或者公共澡堂前，一定要先洗澡。
Stay on the correct side on escalators. In The Tokyo you stand on the left. In Osaka you stand on the right. Follow what other people are doing.

India：
在印度：
Kissing in a public place. In some jurisdictions this can get you into jail under "public obscenity" (a lot of our laws are stuck in the Victorian era). Although the law enforcement cuts some slack if the couple is married, if the couple is unmarried things can get really messy.
不要在公共場合接吻。在某些地方你會(huì)因“公共猥褻罪”而被捕入獄（我們有許多條法律還停留在維多利亞時(shí)期）。盡管執(zhí)法機(jī)關(guān)會(huì)對已婚夫婦從輕發(fā)落，但是如果是未婚情侶的話，事情就會(huì)變得麻煩起來。
Shorts/skirts in a place of worship. Dresses that show anything above the ankle is generally frowned upon in most places of worship and in someplaces officially banned. This applies to both sexes.

Germany：

As far as I'm concerned, there's only one "absolutely not" rule for Germany:
就我所知，在德國就只有一件事是“絕對不能做的”：
Don't do the Nazi salute. Not even in jest. It's a crime and every year there are tourists arrested for it. Also don't carry any Nazi symbols on you.
絕對不能行納粹禮，就算開玩笑也不行。這種行為算是犯罪，而且每年都有游客因此被捕。同樣地，你也不能攜帶任何帶有納粹標(biāo)志的物品。
Russia：
在俄羅斯：
Don't give even number of flowers as a gift. That's for dead folks. Proper bouquet will have 1/3/5/7/... flowers.
送禮時(shí)不要送偶數(shù)倍的鮮花，那是送給死人的，通常來說花束里花的數(shù)目是1/3/5/7之類的。
Don't criticize Soviet Union when talking with people over 40. They grew up at those times and might be nostalgic. Even if they enjoy modern life they might not like hearing foreigners talking about it.
在和年齡超過40歲的人聊天時(shí)不要批評蘇聯(lián)，他們成長于那個(gè)年代而且有可能是懷舊派。即使他們對現(xiàn)在的生活很滿意，他們也不喜歡外國人談?wù)撎K聯(lián)。
