Working in Africa is full of risks. What do you think is the most unacceptable behavior of local people?

20 16 and 20 17 worked in Africa for two years. As a person who has never been abroad, he felt the exotic customs of West Africa for the first time. The country I went to was Ghana, where the common language was English. The biggest gain in these two years is the improvement of English. The work there belongs to overseas offices, and there are factories in China that deliver goods to Ghana. We rent warehouses locally and sell them in the market, and we have more contact with their locals on weekdays. I want to talk about my own feelings about what behaviors of African locals can't stand this topic the most:

Solve the mystery of time delay. It is a common phenomenon that local people are not punctual. At that time, I hired a worker to accompany me to visit market customers on weekdays and act as my assistant. Almost every time he can't get to my place on time, he needs me to call him in advance. Later, a thief stole my money in the market. He stopped him in time. I rewarded him 100% (the local currency name was cancelled) that day, and his salary increased 10%/ day. Since then, he has never been late;

The difference in food culture is really unacceptable. A major local diet in Ghana is called "fufu", which is a dough steamed with cassava and poured with soup before eating. It's delicious. But what I can't stand is that they mix with their hands and then scramble to eat. People who are used to using chopsticks in China are not used to this way of eating. If friends from all over China eat a lot with chopsticks in China restaurants, most of them eat their local food with knives and forks.

The phenomenon of single mothers is common. There are many single mothers in Ghana, and many children don't know their fathers when they grow up. Take a driver I hired at that time, for example, where I worked.

There are many single mothers in Ghana, and many children don't know their fathers when they grow up. Take a driver I hired at that time as an example. During the two years I worked, I had three wives and two children. Many local people believe in Christianity, and there has been a rally in the church since Friday night, which is very high. It has also become a place where he socializes and hunts. Of course, most people who believe in Christianity are still very devout, but a few people are impure.

Enthusiasm is real, and so is greed behind it. Africans are very enthusiastic, whether adults or children, but behind the enthusiasm is taking. Money. Friends who have been to Africa have the same experience, that is, when you go through the immigration formalities, the immigration officer in charge of inspection will say that you can't do it for various reasons, and finally you can get through the customs smoothly by turning into a tip. When you meet a policeman on the road, ask him to check all kinds of things and finally give a tip. When you return to China, your luggage will also be checked in various ways. If there are no problems, if there are problems (there are too many red wines and some illegal ivory products, but few people dare to bring them now, and the inspection is very strict when entering the country), they can all be solved in the form of tips.

In March, I had dinner with a brother who was doing business in Ghana. He asked me if I still wanted to work in Ghana and gave me a generous salary. I said that after an epidemic, I understood everything. I would rather not go to China.
