Every country seems to have a stereotype of the way they travel. For instance, the English seem to be seen as very rude and always drunk, the French very arrogant and the Italians very loud and annoying. I’m sure it is possible to find something about every country in the world… I would like to create a visual representation of the different perceptions of cultures and countries.
A film/documentary of the way people react to tourists and how tourists react to cultural differences… I would like to keep it funny.
Sometimes, people stay talking to tourists, trying to help them, without having a clue of what they are saying, or they point in one direction wanting to be seen as a nice person from a nice country.

In each country, some rules must be obeyed, and taboos are often regarded as stupid when coming from a different cultures. As an example, if you give a green hat in china, you are telling them that their spouse is unfaithful… or if you say “adieu” instead of “au revoir” in france, you are saying you never want to see that person again instead of good bye…
Faux pas, in other words, mistakes, could be part of the different things not to do… cultural differences to be avoided…
Again, I would like to make a video, in a humor/ mockumentary way.
