Nepal is a country adjacent to India and China, and the population of this country is mainly based on agricultural cultivation. If you go deeper into Nepal, you will find low productivity levels and slow overall economic development.
To this day, the quality of the equipment used by Nepalese people in farming is very poor, and they do not use the large agricultural equipment used in most countries to cultivate, and many tasks require manpower to complete.
Nepal, like most Southeast Asian countries, has a Buddhist faith in the country. It can be said that Buddhism is a religion that has been widely spread in Nepal and is respected by the locals. The influence of Buddhism is deep in the country, and the locals are also very particular about etiquette.
When you go to a local temple, you not only have to take off your shoes, but you also have a lot of attention when eating. When you go to the temple courtyard to eat, fill each person's plate with their own food, and do not use your own plate to lean on someone else's food. If there is such a move, others will feel very angry.
First, the openness of Nepalis: gathering crowds to bathe in the streets
Why would anyone come to this conclusion that a visit to Nepal feels alien to this simple country is that the behavior of the locals is too open?
Mainly in the streets of Nepal, you can see people gathering to bathe in the open, and after understanding, you can also have a specific understanding of the country of Nepal.
In Nepal, both men and women bathe together in the streets and rivers, and they do not have the obvious conservative idea of male and female distinction. Both men and women of all ages like to play in the river, and Nepalis on the streets carry buckets to wash their hair and bathe, so they don't feel anything wrong.
Younger girls will splash water and play in the street unscrupulously, just like children.
Many travel enthusiasts said that during their visit to Nepal, they will encounter embarrassing scenes that make tourists feel very confused, mainly Nepalese will bathe on the street in public, such an open atmosphere makes many conservative tourists feel very uncomfortable.
Nepalis also say that bathing in public on the streets is also a local tradition, and in fact, it is not as public as it is believed. In general, local women wear thin clothing to cover their private parts, and men wear a cloth scarf around their lower body or shorts.
For tourists who are not aware of Nepal's local customs, it can feel new and fun to see them bathing in public. Locals are accustomed to this phenomenon, and passers-by don't pay too much attention to the bathing crowd.
Bathing in front of the public is something that many Chinese dare not think about. But Nepalis think bathing in a thin veil is a very holy and pure thing, and there is no need to make a fuss about it.
Nepalese people are simple and enthusiastic by nature, and when they go to Nepal, the locals will warmly invite Chinese tourists to bathe with them. They also see inviting each other to take a bath with them as a friendly sign of their warm welcome.
Second, we should respect the traditional customs of different countries and regions, and accept and treat them with an inclusive attitude
Different countries have different development processes, economic foundations, and cultural practices, which can also show the diversity of world cultures.
The traditional custom of bathing in public places in Nepal has been passed down for a long time, and in the stereotype of Nepalis, it is a common thing that can pull them together, and gathering to bathe in crowds will not cause any adverse effects on public order.
After visiting other places and learning about the cultures of different countries, it is necessary to treat this phenomenon normally with respect.
Nepal also believes that water is a holy thing, not only to wash away dust and dirt from the body, but also to purify the mind and soul. Nepalese locals also specially hold water-related festivals, Nepalese people will hold various traditional ceremonies on Women's Day, and will wash and bathe on the streets, which has become a very eye-catching local traditional custom.
Some tourists think that bathing in public is not as relaxing and convenient as at home, and washing in the bathroom is not as clean and thorough. But the locals are willing to remove the dirt from their bodies in this way, and passers-by are not easy to say.
Some of the pools, fountains and taps used for bathing on Nepal Street have become precious local cultural relics. These artifacts have been established for a long time, and one reason for the phenomenon of gathering people to take a bath.
Or because Nepal's local infrastructure is not perfect, many Nepalese do not have a bathroom for washing in their homes, so locals can only go to places with water sources to bathe and wash clothes.
