Traveling
abroad can be an exhilarating and life changing experience, if you’re
not being snubbed and treated like an unwanted visitor by the locals...
Some
places simply aren't very accommodating to travelers, but sometimes
people will have a bad attitude towards you because they think you've
wronged them by unknowingly going against one of their customs. Take
this seemingly harmless "talk to the hand" type gesture:
This gesture is called a "
mountza"
in Greek, and it's just as insulting to the Greeks as giving someone
the middle finger is in America, so don't get all sassy on the natives
when you visit Greece or the gods will rain their displeasure down upon
you!
