    Shaking Hands with women: Saying 'Hello' to the Ladies
  • Tip Rating:
  • Lahore Shaking Hands with women
  • Shaking hands with Ladies is Not
  • considered polite
  • by Pakistaniguy
  • Send Photo to a Friend
  • In our culture, shaking hands with ladies is not considered respectful. Until and unless ladies wants to shake hands with you. Try to keep you hand with yourself. Just say 'Asalam-u-Aleikum', bow down a little and node your head slightly in 'yes'. This is considered very decent and polite.

    Shaking hands with little girls under 10 yrs is considered okay. But make sure that they look 'little girls' not 'grown up girls' :-)

    Bargaining: Bargain As much As You CAN !
  • Tip Rating:
  • Lahore Bargaining
  • Chris paying the Rishaw Driving
  • by Pakistaniguy
  • Send Photo to a Friend
  • Bargaining works everywhere in Pakistan. Except for the government buildings like Museums or sight seeing places whereever u think that the person who is the receiving the money is the owner or sales manager, you should bargain as much as you can. It is the key of saving 50 of your expenditures ! In the picture on your left Chris is paying a 'Rickshaw Driver', we bargained for the price Before taking the Ricshaw !
