What's polite at home is rude elsewhere. Locals notice.
A thumbs-up means 'good' in America and something much worse in parts of the Middle East
The same gesture has opposite meanings across cultures. You'll make gestures reflexively for weeks until you learn which ones have hidden landmines.
You refused the coffee to be polite — you actually insulted the host
In many cultures, accepting food and drink is how respect is shown. Refusing — even politely — reads as 'I don't trust you' or 'you're not a good host.'
Your 'V' sign palm-in got you very different looks in London than in New York
Small direction change, completely different meaning. Dozens of everyday gestures have these invisible switches you don't know until someone reacts.
You offered your business card left-handed in Japan — the meeting was over
Not the content. Not the pitch. The left hand. In formal East Asian business culture, small ritual missteps signal you haven't done your homework.

Questions
Everything you need to know.
Does this cover business travel or just tourism?
Both. You specify your purpose — tourism, business, visiting family, long-term stay — and the AI tailors accordingly. Business travelers get deep protocol on meeting hierarchies, business card exchange rituals (huge in East Asia), seating order at meals, gift-giving in business context, and when formality shifts to informality. Tourists get more focus on restaurant, street, and shopping etiquette. Family visitors get in-laws protocol and home-visit deep-dives.
What about countries where I'm visiting family or in-laws?
This is one of the highest-stakes use cases. Meeting your partner's family in a different culture carries real weight — first impressions stick for years. The Gift-Giving, Hosting & Visiting Rules prompt handles this directly: what gift to bring (budget, symbolism, wrapping), how to address parents and elders in that specific culture, seating and meal protocol, punctuality norms, what to compliment and what not to say. You can also run the Scenario Practice Simulator on specific moments like 'being introduced to grandmother' so you practice before it happens for real.
How specific is it — country-level or regional?
As specific as you make it. If you say 'Japan' you get national-level norms. If you say 'Osaka' vs 'Tokyo' you get the regional differences that locals know about (Osaka is more informal and joke-friendly; Tokyo is more formal and reserved). Same for Italy (North vs South), India (massive regional variation), Spain (Catalonia vs Andalusia). The more specific your destination, the more nuanced the guidance. It also factors in urban vs rural context if you mention it.
Does it include the polite phrases with pronunciation?
Yes — the 10 most useful phrases come with pronunciation guides in a natural, speak-it-out format (e.g., 'arigatou gozaimasu' written as 'ah-ree-GAH-toh goh-ZAH-ee-mahss'). You also get guidance on when to use formal vs informal versions, what the local 'magic word' is that immediately signals respect (varies by culture — in Japan it's 'sumimasen,' in Spanish-speaking countries it's 'disculpe,' in Thailand it's 'khun'), and what sounds arrogant or childish even if grammatically correct.
What if I've already made a cultural mistake?
The Gaffe Recovery & Rescue Kit is built exactly for this. You describe the mistake (refused tea, used thumbs-up, addressed someone wrongly, left food on plate) and the AI gives you: (1) severity assessment — usually it's less serious than you fear, (2) the exact recovery script in the local language if possible, (3) the non-verbal recovery (gesture, posture, expression), (4) what NOT to do (over-apologizing makes it worse in some cultures), and (5) how to prevent similar mistakes moving forward. Most cultural mistakes are fixable with the right repair move.
How is this different from a travel guide?
Travel guides give you lists — 'remove your shoes in Japan,' 'don't show the bottom of your feet in Thailand.' They don't explain the underlying values that make these rules feel natural, they don't teach the unspoken rules locals don't mention, and they can't practice scenarios with you. The AI covers the deep layer: why certain things matter (saving face, hierarchy, harmony, hospitality) so you can adapt intelligently to situations the guide didn't anticipate. And the simulator is something no travel book can offer.
