You don't take them off outside the house!)"

進(jìn)別人家時(shí)不可以穿鞋:“如果你看到其他人脫鞋,那你也照做吧。”(注意:屋子門(mén)口有一小塊地方叫“玄關(guān)”,通常比其他地方要低一些,是用來(lái)脫鞋子的。鞋子不必脫在外面。)

Don't hug people you just met: "Most people don't like it, especially older folk."

Kenya

肯尼亞

Don't disrespect religion: "Almost everyone you meet is religious; religion here is always on fashion, so if someone asks you if you are religious, don't take offense because it is common for everyone to follow a religion, and around 80% of the population are Christians."

不要蔑視宗教:“幾乎你遇到的每一個(gè)人都是信教的;宗教在這里一直都很盛行,所以要是有人問(wèn)你信不信教,千萬(wàn)別介意,因?yàn)檫@里人人信教是很尋常的,全民有80%的人是基督教徒。”

Don't be impatient: "Hardly anything runs on time, with an exception of a couple of business meetings and bank closing hours and most other businesses. Everything runs late, don't get pissed off or impatient, learn to go with the flow, things will happen, just not on time."

不要不耐煩:“除了少數(shù)商務(wù)會(huì)談、銀行下班及其他業(yè)務(wù),這里幾乎沒(méi)什么事是準(zhǔn)時(shí)的。凡事都會(huì)遲到,所以不要生氣或不耐煩,入鄉(xiāng)隨俗吧,事情總歸要辦的,只不過(guò)遲一些罷了。”

Don't call someone by their first name: "Miss, Mrs, Mr., Dr. and Engineer so and so (mostly the surname) are totally accepted. If you want to call someone whose name you don't know, refer to them as madam or sir. You get quite a lot of bonus points for that. Only refer to someone by their first name if they introduce themselves as such."
