I am sure everyone knows about that old adage – “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” But this may not hold true everywhere around the world. We would urge you to do a proper research before entering a nation other than yours. Things that work in your country may not work in any other country. Your actions may cause some serious damage to you. Caution yourself always!!

We prepared a list of things that you should not do when entering the following countries:
