Travel Etiquette出行礼仪

Kenya

肯尼亚

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."

不要蔑视宗教:“几乎你遇到的每一个人都是信教的;宗教在这里一直都很盛行,所以要是有人问你信不信教,千万别介意,因为这里人人信教是很寻常的,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."

不要不耐烦:“除了少数商务会谈、银行下班及其他业务,这里几乎没什么事是准时的。凡事都会迟到,所以不要生气或不耐烦,入乡随俗吧,事情总归要办的,只不过迟一些罢了。”

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."

不要对人直呼其名:“你可以加上小姐、女士、先生、医生、工程师等称呼,大部分时候可以直接加上姓氏。如果你不知道对方姓名,那就称呼为女士或先生。这能为你赢得不少好感。只有当对方要求时,你才可以直呼其名。”
