The behaviors of some tourists in a foreign land are real acts of rudeness and vandalism

When we go on long trips to countries and places different from ours, it is always a good idea to first find out about the uses and customs of that place to avoid making a fool of ourselves. 

Or even worse - to avoid having to pay stiff fines for actions that might not be exactly the thing to do in that country or place because there, those actions are prohibited or even illegal.

At other times, however, the behaviors of some foreign tourists are so disrespectful to the culture of others, that we cannot help but also be shocked and dismayed!
