When in Rome, do
as the Romans do
This
idiom means that when you are visiting a different place or culture, you should
try to follow their customs and practices.
When
the ASEAN Community materializes in 2015, the citizens of ASEAN countries will
be more convenient to visit other parts of the region. Moreover, there will be free
flow of skilled labour in eight professions comprising doctors, dentists,
nurses, engineers, architects, accountants, surveyors and the tourism industry.
The ASEAN citizens can migrate to live and work in the other countries’
territory without the need for visas or permits. But different countries have
different cultures. Every nation has its own customs and traditions, dos and
don’ts. People who want to work or travel far away from their hometowns should
be aware of the customs and etiquette of other countries.
In
keeping with the saying “ When in Rome, do as the Romans do”, you should try to
observe other countries’customs during your time in their territories. Be
polite and gracious to your host country or city.
The
ASEAN Corner Project will be dedicated to providing lists of dos
and don’ts in the ASEAN countries for the whole month of November. Gaining
knowledge of different cultural practices will give you a chance to appreciate
the richness of the ASEAN cultural diversity. The guidelines may help you a lot
when you want to go explore our region.
Thank you for staying connected to the ASEAN Corner Project.
