First of all, Angola is in West Africa, and Tanzania is at the same latitude. But on the east coast of Africa, Kenya is farther north, and Qatar and Yemen are all in the Middle East.

Countries in the Middle East are hotter, Kenya is poorer, and the weather in Angola should be better.

In fact, many customs and such are quite different between Africa and the Middle East.

1. Weather.

First let’s talk about what you need to prepare for going to Africa.

If it's a project, you're probably going to be there for a while, so you have to bring everything with you as much as possible.

Of course you should have the hats and the like you mentioned, as well as sunscreen and the like, because in summer, you may get sunburned after being out for half a day.

But if you go there for half a year, sunscreen won’t help you.

Many times it is better to wear long sleeves than short sleeves to cover yourself and prevent sunburn.

2. Disease.

To be more specific, the most serious epidemics in Africa are all kinds of epidemics. Before you go, you need to get injections and vaccines. Yellow fever and meningococcal meningitis are relatively basic. Different countries have different requirements. You need to take care of yourself when you go out.

protection.

It’s better not to go to messy places. There are many mosquitoes and other small bugs in Africa. They may not seem like a big deal, but they can easily carry many viruses and cause infection, so you must be careful.

Before going out, be sure to bring commonly used medicines, such as those for dysentery, gastroenteritis, headaches, colds, and fever.

You can drink the water in many high-end hotels directly, but don’t drink water casually when going out, as it is full of bacteria.

3. Diet.

These countries in Africa are not too bad, and they are not very Muslim, so the food may be okay.

Places with better conditions may also combine local food with Western food, and you can get used to it as you get used to it.

You can bring more pickled mustard when you go out, there is none there; since you will be staying for a long time, it is not recommended that you bring instant noodles unless there is room in your bag.

In many places in Africa, people do not use tables and chairs, knives and forks, or chopsticks to eat. Instead, they eat with their hands.

When eating, everyone sits in a circle, with a lunch box and a vegetable box in the middle.

Each person presses the edge of the lunch box or vegetable box with his left hand, uses the fingers of his right hand to grab the rice and vegetables in front of him, and puts it into his mouth.

At this point, you will be at a loss as to what to do, and may even have your hands covered with rice. However, Africans make clean and neat movements when grabbing and eating.

Guests should be careful not to scatter food on the ground when eating. This is taboo for the host.

After the meal is over and the elders have not left the table, the younger ones should sit quietly and wait; when the children leave the table, they must bow to their parents to express their gratitude; the guests should wait for the host to finish eating and leave together.

In many places in Africa, there are strict etiquettes when eating, and there are even regulations on who can eat each part of the beef, sheep, chicken, and duck.

For example, in Mali, chicken thighs are eaten by older men, and chicken breasts are eaten by older women; the head of the household eats chicken neck, stomach and liver; chicken heads, claws and wings are eaten by children.

4. Negro and black are forbidden sentences. African Americans have no resistance to the word Black.

However, when he heard someone call him Negro (which means black people, especially black people who were originally from Africa and were sold to the United States as slaves and their descendants), he became furious.

Africans are not only resistant to the words Negro and Black, but also do not recognize their meaning.

Emphasizing different skin colors is the biggest taboo in Africa.

5. Shoot.

Africans generally believe that when a camera is pointed at something and a shot is taken, the "essence" of the object is absorbed, which is no small matter.

Photography of people, houses, and domestic animals is not allowed.

If tourists want to take photos, it is best to say hello to the other person before taking photos and obtain permission before taking action to avoid being stoned, hung or beaten.

Every country has areas that are extremely dirty and populated by poor people, and the United States, home to the richest man in the world, is no exception.

If you take photos enthusiastically in those dirty areas, the locals traveling with you will protest and even refuse to be your guide.

People in developing countries don’t like having their self-esteem damaged. This is a fact that tourists must recognize.

Wanting to take pictures as soon as you see a backward scene is like looking for someone else's scum. It's better not to do such ill-considered behavior.

6. Say hello.

A popular way of greeting in Africa - raising your right hand with the palm of your hand facing the other person, is to say "My hand is not holding a stone." Obviously, it is to show that the custom of "without weapons" has been commonly used all over the world since ancient times.

Used, but the style is slightly different.

It can be said to be a symbol of friendship.

When talking or meeting with local people, don't stare at them intently. Doing so will definitely make them unhappy.

In Africa, a weak handshake is considered "impolite".

A weak handshake shows weakness and subterfuge and lack of sincerity, and they will be angry.

Especially in Algeria, the firmer the handshake, the more respected it is.

They believe that the degree of force is directly proportional to the degree of kindness of the other party. It is best to hold their hands until they feel numb and painful.

The conditions in the Middle East may be better than those in Africa and appear more developed. In addition to the above precautions, you should also pay due attention to local customs.
