Taboos and Etiquette

Zambians attach great importance to etiquette. After friends meet, they hold each other tightly with both hands, shake them up and down, and exchange warm greetings. Zambian people are hospitable. Whenever a guest comes to their door, the host will warmly welcome them and entertain them with coffee, soda, fruits, snacks, etc. Zambians are friendly to others. When cars bump into each other on the road, they don't get out of the car to blame each other or have a big quarrel. Instead, they each check the damage of their own cars and wait for the police to deal with it. Everything is done in accordance with the law. Hitchhiking is common here, and the drivers don't take anything for anything. There are many taboos in Zambia, which vary from region to region. For example, the hostess generally does not receive guests; it is taboo to hand things with the left hand, because using the left hand alone is insulting.
