    Being unaware of local customs isn’t a good reason to complain about them. Just learn them. If you travel without taking five minutes to understand the local culture, don’t be surprised when you run into unpleasant surprises.

    Not hard to understand, innit?

      It’s not, but it’s a problem of “unknown unknowns”. People look up mandatory vaccines, which health insurances actually cover them there, which part of town to avoid etc. Not “am I randomly expected to give money to people?”.
