It is not just the weather that is cold in Finland. People can come off cold too, but not purposefully or for unpleasant reasons. It is their way of life. Finns like their personal space to be respected, and that is why they cultivate social distance.
Therefore, it is natural for a Finn to feel uncomfortable when a tourist doesn´t respect personal space in public transport when there are other places to occupy!
7. Netherlands – Do Not Deviate From Bicycles
The Netherlands is one of the most visited countries in Europe, and this is a great incentive for the local economy. However, local people complain about overtourism in the region. It is increasingly difficult to move around the streets without hitting an Asian or American tourist who keeps taking pictures.
The tourist movement in the streets is so intense that sometimes bicycles (public transport most used by the local population) have difficulties in circulating on the streets because tourists do not deviate. And the locals hate that. Often, tourists end up being run over by the fact that they enter their bike paths.
8. Confusing Northern Ireland with the North of Ireland
Both are part of the United Kingdom, but Northern Ireland is not the north of Ireland. Let this be made very clear because the locals get annoyed when tourists keep confusing those two that are both unique in their own ways.
Northern Ireland is a country of rare beauty, where you can find all kinds of extraordinary attractions, such as the Titanic Museum, among others. And the truth is that people also like to have their breakfast on the balcony without being photographed by Asian tourists – one of the main tourist habits everywhere.
9. Scotland – Complaining About the Food
Naturally, you are more likely to try new and different things when you travel since this is a great way to acquire new experiences, including food. However, if you are planning to visit Scotland, it is not recommended that you order local cuisine dishes that you have never tried before, only don’t complain out loud if it doesn’t appeal to your taste!
