Recently in the countries of Asia it has become increasingly popular to have a rest. Tourists from all corners of the world are attracted here with exotic food, palaces with a deep history, monuments, paradise beaches and inimitable rest. It is only necessary to remember that you are going to cities where people have a completely different mentality and their understanding of some life principles is significantly different. Therefore, when traveling, you need to know local customs and habits.
During a trip to China, it is worth considering that the locals speak very loudly. This also applies to public places. So do not think that if a person speaks loudly to you, then he is angry or involved with a head in a conversation. Here, in the order of things, people are scrutinized, because for the locals it is just a sign of curiosity.
In Beijing, you need to remember that taxi drivers in English do not understand at all, so you need to have a destination address in Chinese with you. You can write down all the necessary information on the mini-recorder and give a listen to the taxi driver. It is advisable to have with you the number of a person who can speak freely in your and Chinese languages. In many Chinese cities it is not customary to tip the waiters, so if the waiter runs out of you to give you extra money, do not be surprised.
In Shanghai, a tip is not required, but if you leave a little for good service, no one will be surprised. Be prepared for the fact that you will be offered "special" dishes, but not because of originality, but because of higher cost. It is best to order the number of dishes by the number of people plus one more. Then you can try a new one. It is interesting in this city and the fact that men are accustomed to wearing their ladies' handbags.
In Hong Kong, people put on face masks already at the slightest sign of colds .If someone sneezes, but there is no mask on his face, then he faces serious condemnation of all the surrounding people .The reaction also will not keep you waiting for .Most likely, from you turn away or even go away .Here respectful attitude is demonstrated by the minimal attention to you, therefore, if you greeted and there is no answer, this does not mean that you are ignored .But when you really need to communicate (be it a store, hotel or another place), then fast and courteous service will not keep you waiting for $ $ .
But these features of the local population are trifles in comparison with those feelings and positive emotions that can be felt during a trip to this state.
