Currently Playing: DON'T DO THIS IN PAKISTAN 🚫

I thought I was simply saying “thank you” 🙏. But this Pakistani man thought I was greeting him as a Hindu, and quickly corrected me: “We are not Hindu. We are Muslims.” It was a genuine cultural misunderstanding, and a good reminder that gestures can mean very different things in different countries. I was actually thanking a man who had helped me find a Balochi suit for my wife. Have you ever had a cultural misunderstanding while travelling?
