I identified with the "Differentiate between a cultural issue and an individual behaving badly" tip: it's very accurate. I have been influenced by a certain group of people in a country I have been to who were rude to me and I immediately left with a bad impression of that country. We really have to put our differences aside and try to blend in, and make the most out of experiencing a new country and its culture.
