1) Japan. Been there before, would love to visit there again. Ive brushed up on my Japanese, so hopefully I wont make an embarassing mistake again xD
I was with my family on a tour. My tour guide passed me a gantry ticket, and showed me how to use it. I then had the misconception that all the gantrys only accept tickets. So the next time I had to pass a gantry, i got on in a queue, and when it was my turn, i slapped the ticket onto the gantry, and the gantry did not open. I knew i did something wrong. Those queueing behind me then turned their heads to face me with a perplexed countenance. Yikes. I then spoke to the guard there, and asked with my limited japanese "how to get out?" . The guard replied "to where?". I couldnt carry the convo any further, luckily my tour guide stepped in and helped me out. Also a turns out after inserting my ticket in, i had to retrieve it once I pass the gantry. Luckily a good man behind me got passed me my ticket (that gesture, with hindsight i understood that i needed to retrieve my ticket)
2) England, the Queen's country
3) hmm idk China maybe
