Know Before You Do

[MotorSarge]

Hope this video opens up.

This type of low life ignorance has been posted here before.

Just another friendly reminder for all the well-intentioned current & for those future expats.

Culture, laws, unwritten rules & geographical norms might be different or unacceptable to you for where you are from.

Make yourself smart & learn them, live them, or possibly pay an unbearable price. 

British man arrested in Thailand for bad reviews of Phuket restaurant (yahoo.com)

The story was however that there was a dispute about the restaurant's right to disallow the 'British man' to walk through their restaurant to enter his apartment and then the man asked friends and/or acquaintances to give multiple fake 1 star ratings to the restaurant.

I have not seen any other full article on the story which is irrelevant.

I would not be renting from a location that would entail me to walk through a private business, another's personal space, etc. to enter my dwelling (IMO).

Again, avoid ignorance which can lead to jail, robbery or death.

Thank you, I now read story which is still irrelevant to my original posting.

So as when I lived in Germany 30 years ago when it was still "German" and not part of the UE....I abided by their customs, culture & laws.

EG.s  (examples given)

Used a fork to eat French Fries (pommess fritz) or Pizza in public...Or your just another Ignorant Nasty foreigner!

Asking for cold beer was then ignorant....Must be a Kano.

You piss on a Wall in authentic German bars with rinse bars....There was no missing the Urinal.

I could pull up to a stop light in any town/big city and open my door and urinate in public, as witnessed.

Need to Shite while yer on the Autobahn....No problem....Pull over & take care of business and mark with yer Shite tissue.

Miss & Loved Germany.

If you did read the article you'd know that the access to the apartment was more convenient through the restaurant but not the only access - presumably the other access was further. 

I'm not sure there was any ignorance involved- it was plain old revenge and backfired on him.
