The tour guide told you travel abroad what behavior is a shame

Think of the two sides of the earth, the other side of the Pacific, some small habits are not the same, light a few jokes, while it is a shame.

For example: there are men, women how to get off? In the United States of America, in general, there is a man in, after the car stopped, the lady waiting in the car, the man came to the door, also do a please get off the action, careful with hand on the roof, afraid to put into your head, this is the girl's respect, and mutual politeness.

I went back to China to get off the bus, he firmly sitting in the car, man came to the door, the results for a long time, looking at my friends' strange, "how do you? Where uncomfortable?"

Back in the United States, a car stopped, I opened the door himself to get off, the man driving just come to me to open the door, see I have firmly stand on the ground, watching my friends strangely: "how do you? Not happy?"

The performance of these two, not who is right and who is wrong, just the concept of different cultural background.

Spitting, this action no matter in which cultural background should be no civilization

Not customary to tip

In the United States, accommodation, meal to tip is supposed to happen, even on the toilet, the toilet if someone service, also need to tip, in China, we are not tipping habits. This may be due to cultural differences between Chinese and American. In my opinion, it is no ground for blame. Think, in fact very good understanding, wherever you are, do not make money easily, even the wealthy, think the money to very wronged, and almost $1 to 7 yuan to exchange, if you give a $10 tip, that is 70 yuan, obediently, not ah, one day, there are a lot of places to give tips, abroad for 15 days, then don't give these a lot of money?

But the tour guide said: Chinese people do not have a saying "do in Rome as Rome does."? Chinese actually quite good face, how this time and not pay attention to face? And come out to play, is to spend money, cattle are gone, don't pull a cow's tail not why? Tip money, should give gave better. Especially in some places for some time (such as time, hotel waiter to help you put the luggage in the room, the waiter, every day at least a $two tip, expressed their satisfaction and respect), some people, do not give back, others can not see see, know only to clean the room attendant and he. Passengers are good, just one time anyway, stay one or two days to leave, but the tour guides often bring guests come, to tell you the truth, not to tip it so that tour guides feel shy, sometimes even if the guide clearly remind visitors need to tip, some tourists not to, this is justified, the waiters are privately discuss, let some people that is our Chinese is very stingy.

If their service is not good, it can not to tip, it is another matter.

Do not care for the environment

Speak loudly in public.

The tour guide said, talking loudly in public places, regardless of the feelings of other people, tour guides feel humiliated.

At this point, I will give Chinese vindicated. Chinese like clusters, like lively, everybody have a pleasant talk together, noisy all feel very fun, lively! But, in China, when many people, speak too low, did not hear, so I used the big noise gate. Speak Chinese meal together, the whole restaurant, jaleo. But Westerners like independence, respect for privacy and space, so the foreigners speak in a whisper restaurant. This cannot be said to the low quality of Chinese people led.

At this point, many times it is habit, and not to others who deliberately loud noise. Most of the time, disturb others in foreign countries, the parties actually did not know. Just habit.

The tour guide said to me: "although it is not, however, go out in the outside still should pay attention to. In the United States of America's public places, most of the time are very quiet, no need to speak loudly, shout and wrangle. Sometimes attracts the attention of the people, let us really led the embarrassed.

Well, everyone is a good comrade, this question, think of the point, can be easily changed. Who let us in other people's sites on it, they don't like the noisy, we'll let them a little. Somehow we also is a state of ceremonies, do in Rome as Rome does. "!

So they go to our Chinese site, let them shout and wrangle, in public or not? The Zha do?

Not in the habit of queuing, always go ahead

Of course this is not absolute. To look at the situation and the surrounding atmosphere. If you are in line, I believe that many Chinese will queue up. But if only Chinese and Chinese together, a man do not line up, pushed forward, there will be second, third...... Many people to the American public, did not see the team, direct rushed to the front, until the people behind dismissively said, "we are in the queue", just come back down, you can't blame anyone, we are not accustomed to.

The tour guide told me: this, let them look ugly, feel very ashamed.

Casual shoes

I was speechless, I returned to see, a lot of big city compatriots are used up! Buy a ticket, on the train, on the toilet...... Although some people do not consciously, but most people will still comply with the order of the. Why a tour guide to see is not the same? Is it right? To a foreign country, lest they be down, can not find the way, so we fall over each other, do not understand.

However, I also have to say: on the toilet, the United States of America in general is all the people waiting outside, a, fill a, China also queuing, directly into the space outside, see what good luck, good luck, while you can, and some bad luck, and so on. Ah.. A. Two. Three all came out, the position you wait, no response was still inside, the psychological trouble of nature.... This queue unfair!

In addition to the above, the tour guide told me much more, I personally think that is not a common phenomenon, only a small number of people will make the following behavior, so I just simple list what he said that some of it, you have a look, "take person as mirror, can now dressed":

1, some people may be at home is the leader, is served in the tour group used, also enjoy privileges, such as, some asked, in the United States is considered to be unreasonable, but also that he paid the money is God, and he became unreasonable god.

2, in the bus tour car, kick off your shoes, socks, smells, dig nostril, the nose of posting on the seat, the old beautiful driver is in a bad mood.

3, Macdonald, Kendl Jiri coke, soda is free refills, tour bus to a team of people to get off, some people took the glass, mineral water bottles lined up free cola, soda, and reluctant to spend a few dollars to buy, many Chinese guides feel embarrassed.

4, one to the toilets, restaurants, put the paper into his bag. The Chinese team left, paper are all with light.

5, a group of people walking in the street or the aisle, gathering in crowds and groups themselves, the road all the way, did not think of other people.

6, smoking smokers, do not see what place where smoking is not allowed to smoke, I want to smoke, people resent very let in foreign countries.

7, not in the habit of saying thank you, others for a long time, Chinese don't like expression, don't say thank you, maybe Chinese politeness are put in the heart, not used to like Americans what have to say thank you, say thank you everywhere.
