答案Follow the Local Customs? When tourists visit other countries or regions. one problem will appear. It is whether the tourists should follow the local customs and behaviors or not. Some people believe that visitors to other countries should follow the local customs and behaviors. Firstly, "do as the Romans do when in Rome". In fact, one reason of our trip is to experience the different culture of other countries. This needs us to follow and join in the local customs and we will get more joy. For example, if we step into the Western America, what we should do is riding the horse and regarding ourselves as a cowboy, lying on the farm and enjoying the country music. Secondly, we should respect the local customs and behaviors; if not, we will be trapped into the troublesome. In India, if a tourist doesn’t respect the cattle, I think, he will experience a bad trip. So if we want to get a wonderful trip, we should follow the local customs and behaviors. Others disagree and think that the host country should welcome cultural differences. This is also true and right. It is very difficult to get used to another country’s customs and what is necessary is the cultural differences. So the host country should welcome cultural differences. For instance: If a Muslim comes into China, we can’t force him to eat pork. The other example: it will be uncomfortable and disgusted for some people from inland to accept the sea food．And some customs or behaviors are not suitable for tourists to follow. For example, when we go on a trip in a tribe of the Southern Africa, we may have the opportunity to see their characteristic festivals. Sometimes, they need swallow a snake to celebrate the festivals. That’s very terrible and I think that is dangerous for tourists to follow. So we should respect the tourists’ customs and behaviors too. The host country can’t force the tourists. In my opinion, the tourists should respect the local customs and behaviors. Similarly, the host country should welcome cultural differences. The most important thing is to respect each other and achieve the balance and harmony. I have a friend; she is now in Si Chuan University. She told me: Though I know Stinky tofu (Smelly tofu) is very delicious, I still have no appetite to eat it. When I was faced with the Si Chuan black smelly tofu, I nearly passed out. I know it is still difficult for her to follow the customs of Si Chuan people completely. Fortunately, she need not eat it imperatively. Finally, let me share you a joke : if an English gentleman as a visitor comes into my home, he can enjoy the delicious Chinese traditional food and he also can give thanks before this meal. This is a joke, but interesting. It simply tells us the biggest happiness is harmony.
