Cultural and other tips for foreign travellers Mongolians
tend to be very understanding of the minor mistakes and breeches in
etiquette foreigners make when visiting, viewing them as sources of
humor rather than an insult. However, if you want to avoid being
chuckled at humor potentially angering someone, here are some tips. Use
them along with good common sense and you should get along just fine.
Accept
and pass everything with your right hand. You can use your left hand to
support your right elbow if it is something heavy.
Do
not lean on die supports of a ger, or act disrespectfully toward the
images or objects on the small altar invariably found in the rear (the
most esteemed place) of gers. Do not put food on the bed of a ger, as
this is bad luck—it means you’ll be eating in bed for a long time (if
you know get sick).
Roll
down your sleeves when shaking someone's hand (if you know someone well
you can just pretend to roll them down).Rolled up sleeves means you re
looking for a fight.
If your fool makes contact with someone else's foot, or vice-versa, it is tradition to shake that person s hand. When
a Mongolian gives you food, they like to see you eat it. When a
Mongolian gives you a drink, they like to see you drink it. This does
not mean however that you cannot say no thank you'. For example, you do
not have to drink, all the vodka which is habitually offered as a form
of hospitality.
Three shots is considered a perfectly acceptable place to stop, but if you think that’s pushing it, it's OK to politely refuse. Do not say anything negative about Chinggis Khan in social places, especially bars.
Some
Mongolian men do not like to see Mongolian women in the company of
foreigners. While it is not a major problem most of the time, it can
lead to disputes even fights, particularly at discos.
Violent
crime is not too common in Mongolia, but UB is a big city, so it is
best to be careful. Don't walk alone late at night, for example. Petty
theft is also on the rise, so watch your possessions closely. Many of
the city's manholes do not have covers, so watch where you step. During
the winter, Ulaanbaatar's streets can get very icy. Be careful for black
ice and also tiles which get abnormally slippery. Many Mongolian
women wear high-heel shoes year-round, regardless of the conditions
.This advisable for someone unaccustomed to Mongolia's streets and
roads, regardless of the weather.
In
many places, anis is not rigidly respected in Mongolia, so standing in a
queue can be a frustrating experience. A combination of patience,
restrained assertiveness, and a little bustling will eventually get you
to the front. |
