What to do and what not to do when traveling almost anywhere--an entertainment for both the armchair or the intrepid adventurer. Why shouldn't you offer to pay for your share of the meal in China? Or use the thumbs-up sign to mean "that's excellent" in Iran? Because, of course, despite the ease with which we can now communicate with and visit one another, they still do things differently over there.
