Good tips for you

When you travel in other places, you'd better do things as the following:

Visiting other places just like visiting the home of your friends, you have to respect the place, respect the lifestyle, respect the culture and respect the people there.

Never complain about the differences between your place and the place you are

visiting, because no place is the same. If you expect everything is the same as in your place, why do you travel? Remember, complaint won't make your trip enjoyable, just makes you look rude. And it seems that you don't know how to respect others and you don't know much about this world.

Respect and follow the culture and the lifestyle of people of other places. Don't try to apply the way people in your place do to other places. If you do so, you will only be an unwelcome visitor in that place. So, why make yourself unwelcome and look silly?

Admire the differences of other places that you are visiting. It doesn't mean losing face.
