It's a good idea to read the cultural awareness section in the guidebook when going to a new country.

I was once working with a colleague in an Islamic country who got confused by the unfamiliar facilties on offer in the locker room and took a leak in that trough thing that Muslims wash their feet in before going to prayers. Luckily there was no one else around to see it and I only found out when I asked him if he knew where the urinals were.
