Content: If you're traveling in Japan, however, be ready to add on a tip, since most areas with a high amount of tourism have embraced tipping. 12 Whistling
You probably don't think much about whistling at all, and you certainly don't consider it rude unless someone is doing it in your face or really disruptively. However, in Haiti, whistling can be taken the wrong way, especially if you are a child who is supposed to be sitting quietly amongst your elders. Whistling is considered an affront similar to making direct eye contact with the elders, standing with your hands on your hips which can be seen as aggressive, or sitting in a cross-legged position. 11 Laughing With Your Mouth Open
In America, we love a toothy laugh showing off those pearly whites. Show those teeth so we know it's real! But in Japan, laughing loudly with your mouth open is considered impolite and according to some people a little "horse like." It's like how we feel about yawning without covering your mouth or eating with your mouth gaping open. Not the worst thing in the world but sort of rude and sometimes even a little repulsive. It can be hard to change those habits overnight when traveling, so just be mindful.
