Travel Stories: Cultural Faux Pas

I really enjoyed the stories you shared yesterday about some of the (hilariously) unfortunate medical experiences you’ve had during your travels.

Next up, let’s spill the beans about some of the embarrassing — but funny-in-retrospect — cultural faux pas we’ve made during our travels. The best story I have about a cultural faux pas is when my evil twin, Nick Steves, made the mistake of putting Parmesan cheese on spaghetti with clams in Rome. Fortunately, he was scuttled by three little members of Rome’s heroic food police. You can see how the whole thing unfolded in this creative little clip from my friend Steve Brenner (Cross-Pollinate).

How about you? I’d love to hear your best stories about cultural faux pas you (or your evil twin) have made on the road.
