"When in Rome, do as the Romans do" will be the first advice for any tourist traveling around the globe. But there is a question that has been bothering me for a while that what is the reason we travel and the possibility. of not traveling. Personally, both sides of the issue should be considered.
To some extent, it is necessary for tourists to imitate the local behaviors just like the natives:First and foremost, it is fun for all travelers to do so, such as joining in a march of the street in the Western holiday or tasting some fantastic foods with the traditional Indian clothes on. In other words,it is a good way to feel and understand the local culture by oneself. Second, it is a good way to avoid the offensiveness in the strange places such as never trying to touch someone's head in some Western countries and never carrying eggs in one's pocket when traveling in Turkey.All advice is for nothing but one's pleasant trip and impressive experience.
On the contrary, in some particular situations, there is no need and reason to copy whatever the local does: For one thing, it is important to keep one's own personality- no matter where he is. In other words, if there are conflicts between one's habits and the local customs, it is a must for tourists to keep and insist on his own hobbies rather than follow the rules in the native situation. For another, what's the worse is that some customs even go against the law and rules nationally and internationally. It is common sense that adhering to the law and rules is the first priority- for all citizens; without it nothing can be done but in chaos.
Comparing both the "do's" and "don'ts" , it is hard to draw up a conclusion eventually.However, as a tourist, following one's feeling and heart, doing something meaningful for oneself is the key to enjoying one's trip, and this is my conclusion for the issue mentioned above.
