Holiday humiliations

Article Abstract:

Foreign travel has many disadvantages. Many French insist the visitor should attempt to speak their language, but small mispronunciations can lead to grave misunderstandings. Social customs, plumbing, and following traffic signs can easily become sources of frequent embarrassment. Travelers should try to learn a country's customs before visiting, and should avoid getting sick while away from home.
