Should policemen be bribed?
Morally, of course not. Practically, that may be a different matter. Some countries expect policemen - and, indeed, all civil servants - to supplement their meager incomes by taking "baksheesh" (literally, "gracious gifts") from the public, kind of like tipping underpaid waitresses. Such "gifts" aren't considered bribes, but since the size of the baksheesh often determines whether or not the policeman will do his duty, it's hard for Westerners to tell the difference.
What are the names of tips?
Tips can be referred to by various names depending on the context. Common alternatives include gratuities, service charges, or bonuses. In some cultures, they may also be called "baksheesh" or "kibbutz," particularly in relation to informal or customary giving in service industries. Ultimately, the term used can vary by region and industry.

What are tourist suggestions for Egypt?
Travel to Egypt Westerners have been visiting Egypt for centuries, but it's still an exotic destination, with all the pros and cons that go along with that. Some people also feel especially sensitive about trips to an Arab country in the current political climate. Here are some suggestions that have been contributed:Be careful with your credit card. Mine was billed by a restaurant after I left Egypt for about 20 times the value of the meal. Real hassle getting credited by Visa.Make sure you go to King Tut's burial chamber, then to Cairo and see what the treasures that were in it with him. Amazing!Egypt is a wonderful country to visit. The Egyptians are very friendly.Don't drink the water. Buy bottled.Pyramids, obviously, are a must see! Be careful of the beggars and people trying to sell things, the postcards they sell are a rip-off and careful when going to ride a camel because they sometimes might take you into the desert and demand more money, harmless really, but be cautious. Sharm El-Sheikh is beautiful. Beaches, nightlife, snorkeling and diving, etc. Don't stay by Na'ama Bay unless you love night life and crowds because it can be loud and the beaches aren't very nice there. Hotels that are farther from the Boardwalk are nicer but also have hotel shuttles to get you places. Taxis are recommended too, really cheap! Luxor is a really neat historical place. Valley of the Kings and Queens, King Tut's Tomb are well worth seeing. Bring lots of water, it gets really hot out in the desert while site-seeing here. Nile River Cruise is what many people do while they go to visit Egypt. It takes you from Cairo to Luxor or elsewhere depending on the cruise you choose. Felluca Ride is on the Nile River, they are pretty cheap to ride these sail boats and it gives an experience that you won't forget! It's great!Some Tips: If you give money to one kid, you'll be giving it to all of them. Bring plenty of water wherever you go. Have a lot of extra "baksheesh" which is tip money, for all the little things you may need it for! Learn the word "no"-la'a and "thank you"-shokran!. You'll need that!
What is cultural heritage of Nepal?
Nepal is blessed with a rich cultural heritage. Culture has been called 'the way of life for an entire society'. The statement holds particularly true in case of Nepal where every aspect of life, food, clothing and even occupations are culturally classified. In a society so feudalistic and so fractured across class lines, cultural heritage comes as a fresh wind. The culture of Nepal includes the codes of manners, dress, language, rituals, norms of behavior and systems of belief.The culture of Nepal is a unique combination of tradition and novelty. The traditions are followed as they were and new customs are created to keep pace with the changing times. It is surprising to note that a country as poor, illiterate and backward as Nepal displays such flexibility when it come to incorporating traits from other cultures. Culture in Nepal is an assemblage of music, architecture, religion and literature. The mountain kingdom of Nepal is multi-ethic and multi-lingual. The land is rich with unique cultural groups like Tharu,Yadav, Ahir, Newars and others.Nepalese are among the most hospitable hosts. This is the reason for which tourists from far and wide enjoy coming to Nepal time and again. Nepalese are culturally warm, hospitable and affectionate hosts who place their heart above their head. Religion is the lifeblood of the Nepalese. Officially it is a Hindu country, but in practice the religion is a syncretism of Hindu and Buddhist beliefs with a pantheon of Tantrik deities tagged on.Nepal's food is surprisingly dull given that it lies at the intersection of the two great gastronomic giants India and China. Most of the time meals consist of a dish called dhal-bhat-tarkari that is a combination of lentil soup, rice and curried vegetables. It can hardly be considered, a dynamic national cuisine. On the other hand, Nepal has adapted famously to Western tastes, markedly evident in Katmandu's smorgasbord of menus: Mexican tacos; Japanese sukiyaki; Thai chocolate; Chinese marshmallows; onion and minestrone soup; borscht, quiche and soy burgers; and some of the best desserts - apple and lemon pies, almond layer cakes, fruit cakes - found anywhere in the world.Art and Crafts of NepalNepalese art is heavily inspired from Hinduism and Buddhism. The 2 millennium old Hindu and Buddhist heritage has survived various onslaughts and is still influencing the Nepalese art and craft tradition. Following are the various art and craft forms of Nepal.Fairs and Festivals in NepalNepal has a vibrant Hindu past and that's reflected in most of its festivals and celebrations. Besides, being the close neighbor of India, Nepal has had a constant history of cultural exchange with it. Therefore most of the Hindu festivals that are celebrated in India are celebrated in Nepal as well. The most important of these festivals are Dipawali and Holi.Nepali MusicThe rhythm, beats, bounce of Nepali traditional folk and classical music is spiritual enough to sooth you and entertaining enough to cheer you. Music is associated with every event in Nepal, then be it birth, marriage, festivals or National events.Cuisines of NepalThe most prevalent Nepali dish is 'Daal, Bhaat and Tarkaari' (lentils, rice, vegetable curry respectively). This is the main course served in the most Nepalese houses irrespective of the economic conditions, that too in both lunch as well as dinner. Nepali food is much less spicy than Indian food, and many dishes are Tibetan in origin. It seems that Indian influence is only confined to Southwestern part of Nepal.Language Of NepalNepal is a multi-cultural and multi-ethnic country. The Nepalese society has acted as the melting pot for various ethnic groups. Almost all of these ethnic groups have their own languages. Nepali or Nepalese is the major language of Nepal. It is also the official language of Nepal. There are other languages too that are widely spoken in Nepal such as Newari, Bhojpuri, Awadhi and Maithali. While the Newar community speaks the former, the immigrants from the Indian states of Bihar and Eastern Utter Pradesh speak Bhojpuri, Awadhi and Maithali.People Of NepalPerched on the Southern slopes of the Himalayan Mountains, the Kingdom of Nepal is ethnically diverse. The Nepalese are descendants of three major migrations. These migrations have taken place from India, Tibet, and Central Asia. Among the earliest inhabitants were the Newar of the Kathmandu Valley and aboriginal Tharu in the southern Tarai region.POSTED BY SHANKAR 1 COMMENTSLABELS: NEPAL CULTURENepal Culture and CustomsNepal has rich cultural history Because of Nepal's vast diversity in altitude that has reflected to our unique culture. culture Also being sandwiched between both India and China people exist at different altitudes which also affects the way in which they live their lives and hence their culture. Many of ethnic groups have their own dramatic culture, language and dialects. Although some customs have merely been converted to habits without thought, ancient texts justify them with far-fetched reasons, sometimes making sense and sometimes not.culture Most of these customs go back to the Hindu and Buddhist traditions. Among them, the rules of marriage are particularly interesting. In traditional families marriage deals are arranged by parents after the boy or girl come of age. Child marriage and polygamy that were once upheld and accepted with glee are not allowed by the law anymore.(Some dos and don'ts)* Affection between men and women, even married, is selfdom expressed. Public kissing, hugging, and hand- holding are offensive to most Nepalese and a sign moral. But it is acceptable for two men to walk hand in hand.*Anger is best not expressed openly. It causes you and the person you're mad at loss of face.*Baksheesh is an extra payment for a service performed and is usually given to porters or laborers at the end of the job. It can be money or clothes or anything else and there is no set rate.*Bargaining is to be expected. Don't bargain if you're not really interested. If your price is accepted, don't try to back out, and don't try to get an even lower price.*Bathing in the hills is very conservative. Men should wear shorts; women should wear a lungi pulled up under the arms.*Children are spoiled crazies. Don't be surprised if you are the center of attraction everywhere.*Clothing is conservative. Men should not go bare- chest and shorts should be conservative. Women should avoid bare shoulders halter tops, and shorts. Ties and suits are not necessary except for special occasions.*Conversations may have 'dead' patches. Nepalese are not uncomfortable with silence.*Cows are sacred. They go and sleep where they want. Watch out for them if you must stretch them out while sitting on the floor. Never step over anyone, and always move your feet let people avoid stepping over you.*Gifts are rarely given and seldom opened in front of the person who has given it.*Heads are sacred and should be treated with respect. Never should be treated without respect. Never take who has given it and never take a topi (hat) off a man's head, even in fun.*Invitations often arrive at the last moment. Don't be surprised or offended, it happens to everyone. If you're busy, even a short appearance is enough.*Jutho (impurity) refers to food that is ritually polluted and therefore inedible; any food which has come into contact, either directly or indirectly with the month becomes jutho.*Left hands are used for cleaning oneself after going to the toilet. It is never used to pass or accept things, whether food at the table or money with a shopkeeper.
