Dont tip anyone. No one. NO ONE. Tipping is just not part of the culture. Dont even leave the small change. People will come running after you with it. Seriously！

Dont go into peoples 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.

Dont enter a bath tub without washing yourself outside the tub first， especially at springs， or at public baths.

Stay on the correct side on escalators. In Tokyo you stand on the left. In Osaka you stand on the right. Follow what other people are doing.

不要給任何人小費。不要給。千萬別給！日本不興給小費，甚至連找零都不要留下來，收銀員會追著把錢還給你的。真的！

進(jìn)別人家門一定要脫鞋。有的時候你去某些寺廟、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。

在進(jìn)浴缸前一定要把自己洗干凈，尤其是在溫泉或者公共澡堂。

在乘電梯時要站對邊。在東京你要靠左站，在大阪你要靠右站，別人怎么做你也怎么做就行了。

Dont kissing in a public place. In some jurisdictions this can get you into jail under “public obscenity”（a lot of 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.

Dont wear 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 some places officially banned. This applies to both sexes.

不要在公共場合接吻。在某些司法管轄區(qū)你會因“公共猥褻罪”而被捕入獄（有許多條法律還停留在維多利亞時期）。盡管執(zhí)法機關(guān)會對已婚夫婦從輕發(fā)落，但是如果是未婚情侶的話，事情就會變得麻煩起來。

不要在禮拜場所穿短褲或短裙。在大部分禮拜場所以及官方明令禁止的地方，不論男女，身著腳踝以上的服裝都會引起他人不悅。

Germany

德國

As far as Im concerned， theres only one absolutely not rule for Germany：

Dont do the Nazi salute. Not even in jest. Its a crime and every year there are tourists arrested for it. Also dont carry any Nazi symbols on you.

就我所知，在德國就只有一件事是絕對不能做的：

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

俄羅斯

Dont give even number of flowers as a gift. Thats for dead folks. Proper bouquet will have1/3/5/7/... flowers.

Dont 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.

送禮時不要送偶數(shù)倍的鮮花，那是送給過世的人的。通常來說花束里花的數(shù)目是1/3/5/7之類的。

在和年齡超過40歲的人聊天時不要評論蘇聯(lián)，他們成長于那個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)。
