Did you "commit" any embarrassing or humorous cultural blunders? If you did and you'd like to share them, please do tell!

It is important to be mindful of cultural differences when visiting Rome. It is important to be respectful of local customs and traditions, and to dress appropriately. Avoid wearing revealing clothing, such as shorts or tank tops, as this is considered disrespectful. Additionally, it is important to be aware of the local customs when it comes to dining etiquette. For example, it is considered rude to leave food on your plate, and it is also considered rude to ask for a doggy bag. Finally, it is important to be aware of the local customs when it comes to public displays of affection. While it is acceptable to hold hands, kissing and hugging in public is generally frowned upon.
