What was the strangest experience you had while visiting another country?

The strangest experience I had while visiting another country was when I was in Thailand. I was visiting the Grand Palace in Bangkok and had to take off my shoes to enter the temple. As I was doing so, a monkey ran up to me and snatched my sandals! Luckily, the monkey dropped them a few feet away and I was able to get them back, but it was definitely a strange experience!
