The 6 Things You Should Never Do As A Tourist In A Major City

3. Stand On The Opposite Side Of The Escalator

It is hard to understand why people stand on the wrong side of the escalator. There is a universal rule for escalators: walk on one side and stand on the other. This rule is true in all countries, even though they have different "standing" sides. If you follow this simple rule, people who are in a hurry will be able to walk faster on the escalator. You, on the other hand, can relax on your way up or down without getting a lot of disapproving looks.
