WHEN YOU MEET THE PEOPLE:
|
- Remember that you are always a guest when travelling.
Travel with open senses. Some things might happen
on a different way than you expected. Do not prejudice or
judge. Don’t be skeptical.
- Show consideration when you visit churches, temples or other holy places. Familiarize with local habits. Dress respectfully.
- Ask for permission if you take pictures of local people. Avoid situations where you could be disturbing. Take into account cultural differences.
- Act discreetly if have possibility to visit a private home.
- Give a present to the family you are visiting,
rather one from your native country than a local present.
Be patient with your time usage. Show respect to the elderly
people regardless of the occupation or social status.
- Respect the beggers – not everybody have the circumstances we have.It might be better to give aid to some relief fund
or community rather than to the beggers.
- Avoid showing or provoking any aggressions. In some cultures losing temper is same as losing the faces.
- Sex with underaged and with prostitutes are darkest sides of tourism.
Paying for sex in developing countries is misuse of poverty. It can be perilous.
- Excessive use of alcohol is not appropriate. In many cultures the use of alchol is not very
common. Adapt yourself with local habits. In many countries smoking is restricted.
