[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't use your left hand to greet people in Asia.

Learn how to use a squat toilet and carry toilet paper or wipes with you everywhere in case for Asia.

Really don't brush your teeth or rinse mouth with tap water in certain countries or have ice or raw vegetables even if they claim they use bottled water....my family learned this the hard way.

Have cash on hand to tip the porter, etc.

Humidity in parts of Asia is awful and wear very light clothing with breathable fabrics and a hat.

Don't get too close to monkeys that appear friendly at the animal sanctuary, they bite and cause you to need a rabies shot and avoid swimming for your whole trip.[/quote]
Asia is a large continent.  All the toilets I used in Korea flushed and had tp. [/quote]

Korea is an exception, try almost everywhere else in Asia....[/quote]
Japan?    So, now there are two exceptions.

Also, most of the hotels in Korea had bidets, and we did not stay in high end hotels, and not just Seoul.  We have them at home, but DS refused to use it.  He was sold on it during our Korea trip.[/quote]
