  Don’t tip anyone. No one. NO ONE. Tipping is just not part of the culture. Don’t even leave the small change. People will come running after you with it. Seriously!
  Don’t go into people’s 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.
  Don’t 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.
  不要给任何人小费。不要给。千万别给!日本不兴给小费,甚至连找零都不要留下来,收银员会追着把钱还给你的。真的!
  进别人家门一定要脱鞋。有的时候你去某些寺庙、神社、餐厅甚至传统旅馆都要脱鞋。如果你看到别人脱鞋了,那你就跟着一起脱。
  在进浴缸前一定要把自己洗干净,尤其是在温泉或者公共澡堂。
  在乘电梯时要站对边。在东京你要靠左站,在大阪你要靠右站,别人怎么做你也怎么做就行了。

  Don’t 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.
  Don’t 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.
  不要在公共场合接吻。在某些司法管辖区你会因“公共猥亵罪”而被捕入狱(有许多条法律还停留在维多利亚时期)。尽管执法机关会对已婚夫妇从轻发落,但是如果是未婚情侣的话,事情就会变得麻烦起来。
  不要在礼拜场所穿短裤或短裙。在大部分礼拜场所以及官方明令禁止的地方,不论男女,身着脚踝以上的服装都会引起他人不悦。

  As far as I’m concerned, there’s only one absolutely not rule for Germany:
  Don’t do the Nazi salute. Not even in jest. It’s a crime and every year there are tourists arrested for it. Also don’t carry any Nazi symbols on you.
  就我所知,在德国就只有一件事是绝对不能做的:
  绝对不能行纳粹礼,就算开玩笑也不行。这种行为算是犯罪,而且每年都有游客因此被捕。同样地,你也不能携带任何带有纳粹标志的物品。

  Don’t give even number of flowers as a gift. That’s for dead folks. Proper bouquet will have1/3/5/7/... flowers.
  Don’t 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.
  送礼时不要送偶数倍的鲜花,那是送给过世的人的。通常来说花束里花的数目是1/3/5/7之类的。
  在和年龄超过40岁的人聊天时不要评论苏联,他们成长于那个年代而且有可能是怀旧派。即使他们对现在的生活很满意,他们也不喜欢外国人谈论苏联。
