In the process of traveling, what local customs will make you unable to "do as the Romans do"

As people's lives become happier, their material life is basically satisfied and their spiritual life has developed to a certain extent. Unconsciously, we have set foot on many different lands, felt the breath of different places and accepted the cultural baptism of different places.

As a traveler, it is the basic accomplishment of a high-quality person to do as the Romans do. For example, when you go to Tibet, you need to be careful not to step on the threshold when you enter the door. Sitting in a Tibetan house, you can sit cross-legged You can't straighten your feet and face people. Generally, men sit on the left and women sit on the right. You can't confuse. For example, don't eat pork in front of Hui people ... but there are still some local customs that I find hard to accept.

First, East Africa.

The Masai people in East Africa used cow urine, which we thought was very pungent, as emulsion to paint their hair, which directly showed the important position of cattle in their culture (people who don't have cows at home naturally have no cow urine to paint). But now, if you travel to the local area and appear in the village as a tourist, it is not so exaggerated. Perhaps the local residents are gradually accepting the influence of new things and becoming civilized.

Second, the Philippines.

This custom is just unacceptable to me personally, because of a glass of drunkenness (pity). The locals welcome tourists to play a game called "Tagay Tagay". It's a ceremonial cocktail party between peers.

Tagay is a kind of glass used in Turkey. Everyone takes turns drinking the water in this cup. Sometimes it's beer, and unrestrained friends sometimes play games with tequila. When it's your turn, you basically drink it all at once, and then continue to pour the wine into the cup and give it to the person next to you.

The more people play this game, the better, because when there are few people, it will soon be their turn again. I wonder if Filipinos exercise and drink according to this habit. In fact, many people in the Philippines can drink very much.
