In his most recent South Florida Sun-Sentinel column, and extended add-on, the inestimable Tom Swick has gathered not only some of the quirkiest advice for travelers, but also some of the most useful. Tasty tidbits: Don’t blow your nose in Japan, and in Brazil, don’t ask, “What’s this sawdust doing on my food?”

He’s also gathered tips from various acquaintances worldwide (including yours truly on Russia) for 6 pages of “Toward a more worldly American.” My favorite is right at the top, with a whole lot of info about the intricacies of the tango floor in Argentina. But also heed the etiquette of ice in South Africa, and try not to blow your top on Malaysia.

I’m sure our Perceptive Readers have something to add!
