I'm used to Burmese talking to you with your mouth open. Burmese people like to eat betel nut wrapped in leaves, so many local people's teeth are dyed red.
There are many taboos in India. Because of different religions and regions, taboos are different.
The general taboo is: you can't face north and your feet face south when you sleep. It is said that Yan Luowang lives in the south; Avoid talking about snakes at night; Avoid pancakes on festive days; Babies should avoid looking in the mirror, otherwise they will become dumb; When the father is alive, the son should avoid wrapping himself in a headscarf and shaving his head; 3 and 13 are taboo numbers, because Shiva has three eyes, and the third eye is devastating. 13 is because there is 13 days of mourning after death; During pregnancy, women are forbidden to make clothes and take pictures; Never pass things with your left hand.
It is forbidden to smell or touch the flower buds displayed in the market, which will be rejected by people.
In India, whistling is forbidden, especially for women. In restaurants, shops and other service industries, if a liar whistles to greet a waiter, it will be regarded as a polite act that offends others' personality.
The head is the most sacred part of the Indian body, so tourists are not allowed to touch the head directly. Never pat an Indian child on the head. Indians think it will hurt children.
Don't praise children, even at a friend's house. Many Indians think that this kind of praise will attract the attention of the wicked.
Indians are forbidden to wear leather products (belts, watchbands, shoes and clothes), especially in holy places, because Hindus don't kill cows, Muslims don't brake pigs, and Jains don't have to kill people, animals or insects.
When you enter a temple or mosque in India, you should take off your shoes and cross the threshold, not step on it. When you enter the temple barefoot, you should wash your feet at the entrance in advance to show politeness.
Anyone who enters a Muslim temple is not allowed to wear shorts or sleeveless vests and is required to take off their shoes.
Anyone who enters a Sikh temple must wear a headscarf or hat first, and then take off his shoes before entering.
