Hey, it's Kelly McEvers, co-host of Atlas Obscura, and I am here with a request.

When we travel to another country or place, we do research to find out things to do.

But sometimes we forget that this place also has rules and regulations to follow, just like everywhere else.

And those rules aren't always the same as our rules, which can land us in some dicey situations.

I, for one, have forgotten to take off my shoes indoors.

I've not worn modest enough clothing inside a temple.

I've even pointed at someone once when in the culture I was in, it was a totally rude thing to do.

I've been interrogated for carrying a small case that looked like a camera case when actually

it was a breast milk pump. Which brings me to my request. We want to hear your stories about the

times you accidentally broke the rules when you were visiting somewhere.

Tell us where you went. Tell us what happened. Why did you get in trouble? And how did you

ultimately get out of it? Give us a call at 315-992-7902 and leave a message telling us your name and story.

Our mailbox will cut you off after three minutes, so please call in if you get disconnected,

or better, you can record a voice memo and send it to us at hello atlasobscura.com.

We can't wait to hear from you. Until next time.
