    • These are just a general rule...

    Women are not to stand over a mans outstretched legs

    Dont tip anywhere in the country

    Women and men should cover up- no skimpy clothes, even when swimming, try to wear shorts and a t-shirt.

    Always accept gifts. If you feel the gift is too expensive or larhe, still accep it. And put an effort in to return the favour to your friend.

    Remember that 96% of the population is Christian. The people can not comprehend athiesm, be careful.

    When people raise their eyebrows in answer to a question- it means 'yes'
