  • Be mindful of local customs, such as respecting the expectation that women in rural areas avoid smoking or drinking alcohol.
  • Expect local curiosity, which is generally not a sign of hostility.
  • Be prepared for local curiosity. If approached by scammers, it is recommended to ignore or firmly dismiss them. In rural areas, it is customary for women to refrain from smoking or consuming alcohol.
