Most travelers need to have the concept of going to the countryside and doing the same. Respect the people, culture and environment of your destination, and you will also get a good impression of your country or culture from the locals. Here are some daily guidelines to help show your kindness and respect in most destinations. Therefore, these topic guides do not appear on the pages of other specific destinations.
topic
Many people are happy to talk about politics and religion, and their views. However, you mustconsider carefullyYour remarks on these topics, or try to avoid and talk less about sensitive topics of local politics and religion.
joke
A joke involving race, or about catastrophic and traumatic historical events, or even terrorist attacksBest avoid. You may know some jokes about the destination, but to a certain extent, these jokes are not very funny; when you make these jokes locally, you may be attacked.
Discuss politics
When traveling abroad, you'd better tactlessly discuss political opinions with local people less, and don't provide too many comments of your own (although sharing your own country or region's political opinions about the other party can be a good conversation). In contrast, when enemies have their own views and opinions on the politics of their own country and region, they generally don’t like to hear foreign tourists’ opinions or preaching. PleaseFocus on sharing and communication！
Discuss history
If you are interested or full of knowledge about the history of the destination country or region, it will be very helpful to your travel, but the discussion of history may also be a very sensitive topic. When you see people from different countries discussing an event in online forums, you know how much discussion on topics like "Who is the most conducive to the victory of the Allies in the Second World War" is Intense and uncompromising. It is recommended that you avoid discussing historical topics during your trip. After all, everyone is living in the present, and many things in the past are already in the past, and some of them are difficult to explain clearly. Why not enjoy your journey! Let the journey be more enjoyable and less controversy.
Camera
In some countries and regions, shooting military installations, government buildings, border areas, and even bridges may get you into trouble. Because some governments may think that these photos pose a threat to national security.
You also need to be cautious when taking pictures of people. Many people are very sensitive to sneak shots or unlicensed shooting. Regardless of whether it is legally permitted or not, it is best to obtain the permission of the person concerned when shooting personal daily life works; so as not to fall into embarrassment, discord, or even dispute.
Sensitive conflict
Due to long-term historical conflicts and local struggles, some regions often have local sensitive conflicts. Also, treating a small independent country or region as part of a larger country or region may be an insulting topic to the local people; on the contrary, it is best not to discuss too many positions with local people. In some areas of disputed territories, even if the two governments reach an agreement, the locals still maintain strong opposition and conflict. In addition, some places are tortured by tensions between ethnic groups, factions or religious groups. If you are a foreign tourist, it is best not to mention these more sensitive topics. What is your opinion on sensitive topics if you are asked by locals? The best response is to follow the opinions of the local people or choose not to respond.
bias
Most countries and cultures are somewhat different and stereotyped. Although some opinions are factual, some opinions are unfounded.
Please avoid stereotyping the locals. Most people you currently visit will almost always be aware of this stereotype, and have heard this joke before, and some may be offensive.
If you deliberately talk about the local stereotypes or culture of your country or region, you will be regarded as ignorant by the locals. Please get to know each other in a friendly way; even if the locals view your country and region in a stereotyped way, you can choose to laugh and pass it. For them, if tourists offend them, the locals will think you look ridiculous. Of course, you don’t want to be considered so by the locals!
accent
Deliberately imitating the accent of the locals may be regarded as mocking and contempt, but not as an effort for better communication.
Give to be recognized
Simply use the greeting in the local language; or if you don’t speak the local language well, a nod or a slight smile is usually enough so that the locals will probably understand it.
