Things Not To Do When Visiting These Different Countries
Recently, u/Neat_Foundation3669 asked r/AskReddit, "What's big 'no no' to do in your country?" So we thought we'd share some of the top responses. "Don't climb the pyramids." – Egypt. "Please don't disrespect the wildlife, or the weather. I'm Canadian." "Please respect the nature and don't litter. Sincerely, the Finns. (No, seriously, you will make the news if your tourist group trashes)." "Refrain from refering to the Republic of Ireland as part of the UK." "Dutchman here. Don't walk in the bike lane and pay the fuck attention to where you're walking." "When a cop pulls you over, do NOT get out of the car." – The US. "Not my country but advised when visiting Australia – DO NOT walk in the long grass." "You can't mess around with the King's guards. Tourists do it all the time. They're highly trained soldiers in the armed forces and the rifles they carry are not props." – The UK. "Italian here, you hear all over the place about no cappuccinos in the afternoon or no broken spaghetti, etc. But the truth is that no one here actually gives a fuck about it. 99% of the time it's just stereotypes perpetrated by Instagram reels. The only one that might get you in trouble is pineapple on pizza, but even then the outrage is WAY less than the internet influencers make it out to be." "Don't disrespect the cats. Don't shoo them. Give them a pet or some food and get on. Those little dudes may be the only redeeming quality of our society these days." "In Cambodian culture, the head is considered the most sacred part of the body, while the feet are seen as the lowest. Touching someone's head, even if it's a child, is a big no-no. Similarly, avoid pointing your feet at people or sacred objects. (Not Cambodian but spent a lot of time there, and wish more tourists were more aware of this)." "Avoid saying 'Happy Birthday' before someone's actual birthday date." – Germany "American – standing too close to people while in a line is a faux pas. It's not moving faster just because you're as close to the person in front of you as possible. We value personal space here. Back up." "France – don't enter a shop/restaurant without saying 'hello'/acknowledging the cashier/staff. Best case scenario is you get a cold stare, but they might also very well call you publicly on it, tourist or not…" "Swedish person here. To walk inside with your shoes on is a big no no. Even if you're only going to fetch something quickly you take them off (at least in someone else's home)." "It's not usual to strike up a conversation with someone you don't know – people will become shocked and awkward! (Denmark – or any Scandinavian country really)." "Here in Belgium it's a huge NO No to serve a beer in the wrong glass." "Portugal. Please don't try to speak Spanish to us lol, it's not the same language. We're very nice people so we'll still talk to you while internally rolling our eyes." "In the Netherlands we do not talk about our salaries. That is reserved for the most closest of friends/ family."

Brad Marchand plays a key role in Florida Panthers' 2nd championship run
Brad Marchand sure made himself at home in Florida. Now he's a two-time Stanley Cup champion. Getting Marchand at the trade deadline from Boston for what ended up being a single first-round pick turned out to be a genius move by Florida as he scored six often timely goals against Edmonton in the final while providing vocal and physical leadership every shift. It culminated with a victory in Game 6 on Tuesday night that left him grinning on the ice with the rest of the Panthers. "Everything has to line up perfectly," Marchand said. "My situation's a perfect example of that. Like, I shouldn't have been here. But it worked out, and I'm enjoying the hell out of it." The 37-year-old winger had wondered if he'd be returning to his roots as a fourth-liner but instead had a major impact on the third line alongside young Finns Anton Lundell and Eetu Luostarinen. "I truly don't think we win a Stanley Cup without him," leading playoff goal-scorer and Conn Smythe Trophy winner Sam Bennett said of Marchand. "His leadership, his will to win, it's inspiring. I was telling him before every game, 'We're going to follow you.' And we did. He was a dog every night."

(Nathan Denette/The Canadian Press via AP) Nathan Denette / AP Marchand hoisted the Cup again 14 years after winning it with the Bruins in 2011 against Vancouver. Among his signature moments, the Nova Scotia native scored two highlight-reel goals in Game 5 at Edmonton to put the Panthers ahead in a heavyweight final. "He's been amazing for us all playoffs," teammate Matthew Tkachuk said. "He seems to keep finding other gear. The more important the game, the better he is." Marchand said he felt at home with his new team. "We just had that fire. We knew we had something special," he said. "It's such an incredible culture and everyone that's come in here, it's like we've been here a lot longer than a few months. It's a family. Guys love each other in this room. You buy into it immediately. Guys embrace you. It's incredible." Getting Marchand was an 11th-hour move. Coach Paul Maurice was about to leave the team's practice facility a half-hour before the deadline when general manager Bill Zito came out of his office and said, "What about Brad Marchand?" "If he had asked that a year and a half ago, I would've thought he was joking," Maurice said. "But he's been able to find these players that we didn't think were possible and he's been able to get these deals done. When he fired that out, I think there was a bit of a pause, his face was serious, everybody nodded and that's it." Marchand for what turned out to be a first-round pick seems like a steal, even if he departs as a free agent this summer. He turned out to be an ideal fit and was a big reason the Panthers went back to back. "He just happened to be the perfect style of player to take that line to a completely different level, and that's where our need was," Maurice said. "What Bill has always done here in my experience, he's identified the need and filled the hole." On the ice, Marchand was a breath of fresh air and maybe the final piece of the puzzle. He also brought his trademark mouth to the equation, always chatting guys up and filling the void for noise when necessary. "With Brad, the whole room knows, so there's no secrets of what he is as a player, as a competitor," Zito said. "Getting to know him a little bit more as a human, he's more special than I could have imagined on that front as a teammate and as a character human. From that standpoint, it was like frosting on the cake." Will he be back? "We'll see what happens here soon," Marchand said before heading off to celebrate.
