One Frenchman ordered a vintage red Burgundy with his dinner in a Denver restaurant, to his horror saw the waiter serve it chilled. Other native customs prove unsuspected traps. Male tourists accustomed to leaving their shoes outside their hotel room doors for a free shine, find them still there grubby and dusty in the morning-if they find them...
