What's extremely offensive in your country, that tourists might not know about beforehand?
This question was brought up a few day's ago on Reddit. Some answers that were mentioned that tourist need to know are:
Thailand, Don't touch people on their heads, it is the highest point of the body so therefore it's the most respectful part. Also never point your feet at a Buddha statue, it's considered very rude.
Also, if you step on money, you'll be thrown in jail, it has the king's face on it and disrespecting him in anyway (like stepping on his image or saying you hate him) will get you a 1 way ticket to a not very nice prison.
When I lived in the Middle East showing the bottom of your feet (like when your legs are crossed) was offensive, saw expats do it all the time though
In Brazil,
The "OK" thing americans do with their hands means 'fuck you' 'Shove it up your ass'. So don't do it.
Ronald Reagan committed the same mistake.
In Germany, doing the Hitler greeting, saying 'Heil Hitler', and the Swastika are illegal here. It's very obviously very inappropriate to visit Germany and pose with your right arm raised for photos, especially when visiting a historically or culturally important place, and yet tourists keep getting into trouble because of this.
When you visit a foreign country be sure to research the local culture so you don't offend any one. You're representing your country, make sure you leave a good impression.

13th floor
Jet-Setter's, how many of you have seen a 13th floor at a hotel? Leave in the comments where and if you can, pictures.
Many hotels in the U.S. don't have a 13th floor. More travel supersitions around the world. https://t.co/29L5qyyOqN pic.twitter.com/OIBDjLJedg

Not just Casino signs
There are many signs on the Strip aka. Las Vegas Blvd. However, not all of them want you to gamble your money away. Another popular thing for some tourist to do in Las Vegas is to get married at the spur of the moment. For that there are many little wedding chapels up and down the strip. Even casino's are trying to get in on it by having chapel's within the casino. This chapel is one of the more famous Wedding chapels and is at the South end of the Strip next to McCarren Airport, across from the famous Las Vegas sign. After people have their picture taken in front of the Las Vegas sign some cross the street and snap a picture of them selves in from of this one. It is surrounded by green grass, which looks like an oasis because it is surrounded by desert like sand/stones.
Another popular place in the middle of the strip is the Harley-Davidson cafe, which has this enormous sign on the corner of Las Vegas Blvd. and Harmon. The cafe also has a gift shop with all kinds of Harley memorable gifts. It is a popular place for bikers to come and hangout and people-watch after cruising the strip, and yes there is parking for your bike as well.
