Before you depart for your adventure, be sure to pack clothes that are appropriate for your destination. Going to places of worship? Men should wear long pants. Women should have skirts that go well below the knees and keep their shoulders covered. Take your shoes off before entering homes in Asian countries. Basically, don’t stick out like a sore thumb and/or offend everyone around you.
Blending in with the locals is key to keeping tensions at a minimum and ingratiating yourself in the community.
