You will find a variety of languages. Many tourists speak no English and do not understand our customs. It is not their intent to be rude.

Remember, this is your vacation, not everything will go perfect. If you want everything to be perfect don't go. If you can relax and enjoy what comes your way and do some things you don't normally do, you will have a great time and some thing you will remember and cherish for the rest of your life. Travel does that to people.
