1. Protect your passport like it's priceless, 'cause it is.

2. Also, most civilized nations accept American dollars, take just 10's and 20's and make sure they're nearly new and all match, there's three or so styles of bills now in various degrees of printing. The different ones seem to confuse the nationals.

3. Don't pout your lips out like Mussolini used to do.

4. Take bubble wrap - it mesmerizes the natives.
