19. Second that - in any country, you should at least learn to say a few basic words such as "hello",

"please", "thank you", "pardon me", etc and if you are polite and don't speak too loudly (as the typical Ugly American tends to do) you will do fine just about anywhere. Carrying one of those tiny Berlitz phrasebooks for whatever country you're in ia also very helpful (for deciphering signs, restaurant menus, etc.).
