Five myths about traveling
There are myths about everything, so here are five common ones about traveling:
1. The phone is the cause of aviation accidents
It is one of the most common myths. Talking on the phone has been banned since 20 years ago because it is believed that they will affect the signal emitted by the aircraft systems. Although the ban is still in effect, studies have shown that small mobile phones are harmless, but a source of myths.
2. Wherever you go, you must leave a tip
There is a theory that if you visit another country, you really need to give extra money, no matter what you buy, otherwise you will be regarded as an uneducated tourist. False! You will pay 10 times more anyway, because being a tourist is supposed to mean that you have money, and retailers are well aware of this. Just because all the products are more expensive does not mean you have to give any tip. Higher taxation is included.
3. Be careful, there are thieves everywhere
This myth without coverage put fear into many travelers who have become concerned about the safety wallet than landscapes. Nothing, you might say. Usually when you visit a location, it is assumed that it is beautiful, elegant and safe. Very likely you are coming from the city to be full of thieves than small tourist paradises.
4. A tour guide might not give you an authentic experience
The truth is that tour guides enhance the experience of a journey, not restricting it at all. On your own, you could spin in a circle, instead of really visiting tourist attractions. In addition, you can never be truly informed about the places you visit without calling in for professional help.
5. Everyone speaks English.
Although it is the most spoken language in the world, English is not the only one. In the business world it is a must, but do not expect that in a remote corner of the world you will be understood as in the family. Some people have a strong national character and to appeal in English may be considered an offense.
