【龙腾网】那些在出过国或者在国外生活的印度人，对出国旅游的印度人，有什么建议?

正文翻译

Indians who have traveled and lived abroad, what advice would you give first time travelers regarding culture and norms that are different outside India?

那些在出过国或者在国外生活的印度人，对出国旅游的印度人，你们在文化和社会准则方面有什么建议?

Could be generic or it could be country specific. My question was based on a conversation with a cousin who was asking similar advice. My biggest discovery was the lack of bidets in the west and the fact that you dispose used TP in the bowl itself and not a separate dust bin (I was mortified when I couldn't find a dust bin inside the stall and texted a friend for advice)

这些建议是全球通用，还是每个国家都不一样。这个问题源于我和表弟的对话，他问我类似的建议。我最大的发现是西方没有坐浴盆，他们把用过的厕纸扔在马桶里，而不是扔在单独的垃圾桶(当时我在洗手间找不到垃圾桶，真的好尴尬，我还向朋友发短信求救)

In the US, it's customary to keep the toilet seat dry. After use, one usually wipes the seat dry for the next person. At least this was my experience when I worked in North Carolina and Orange County, California.

在美国，保持马桶座圈干燥是种习惯。用完通常会为下一个人擦干马桶圈。至少这是我在北卡罗来纳州和加州奥兰治县工作时的经历。

Same in Europe. You’re expected to leave the room as clean as you found it, and usually there will be a toilet brush and often seat cleaner to make this an easy job.
In “The West” labour is too expensive to have people clean up after you. Also, it’s considered rude in general to expect others to clean up your mess.

欧洲也是如此。离开房间的时候要像刚开始时那样干净，基本上都有马桶刷和马桶座圈清洁器，这很容易。
在“西方”，让人帮忙清理的成本太高。而且一般来说，指望别人帮你收拾烂摊子是不礼貌的。

If this is referring to public restrooms, this is not the norm in the west at best, the toilet will be found without a stench and actually flushed, at worst, people literally smear shit on the walls of the stall

如果是公共厕所，这不是西方的常态，最好的情况是厕所没有臭味，马桶都被冲干净了；最坏的情况是，人们真把大便涂在洗手间的墙上

I've lived in Aus for most of my life and the only time you'll walk into a public restroom without walking out feeling disgusted is if you're at upscale places
Perhaps Orange County is ahead of the curve

我大部分时间都住在澳大利亚，除了高档场所的公共厕所，就没有不让人感觉恶心的公共厕所。
也许奥兰治县在这方面走在了前面

I found this too in Australia but not in Canada or NW USA

我在澳大利亚也发现了这种情况，但加拿大或美国西北部就没这种情况。

FreshPrinceOfIndia
Interesting, in general I do not expect any countries to have people conduct proper toiletry etiquette, most people everywhere are dirty af

有意思。一般来说，我不期望所有国家都有适当的洗漱礼仪，世界各地大多数人都邋遢。

BobinForApples
Takes every person to keep it clean. Just takes 1 to make it dirty.

保持干净需要所有人的努力，但要变脏一个人就够了。

FreshPrinceOfIndia
I like your positive take 

我喜欢你的积极态度

I guess not just Orange County, even in the east coast , it is clean and people believe in cleanliness..

我想不仅仅是奥兰治县，甚至是东海岸也很干净，那里的人爱干净。

I agree. The public facilities in Aus are terrible. Once I went to Squeaky beach outside of Melbourne and the toilets were basically a hole in the ground. Man the stench and general hygiene was as bad as a third world country!! I’ve seen facilities in remote places in the UK but they’ll always have a flush and would be cleanish. Aus really needs to up its game here

我同意。澳大利亚的公共设施很差劲。有一次我去墨尔本郊外的斯奎基海滩，那里的厕所其实就是在地上挖个洞。那种恶臭和卫生状况跟第三世界国家没什么两样!!我在英国偏远的地方见过类似设施，但可以冲水，还算干净。澳大利亚在这方面的水平真的有待提高。

It’s one of those small things I love about Canada as well.
I never used public washrooms in India (unless it was an extreme emergency). But here, the public washrooms are always clean- even in crowded places. People make a conscious effort to leave it clean for the next person.

加拿大有很多细节我都很喜欢，这就是其中之一。
我在印度从来没用过公共厕所(除非是极端紧急的情况)。但是加拿大的公共厕所总是很干净——即便在人群拥挤的地方。人们会有意识地替后面的人清理干净。

Keep your phone on silent. Excuse yourself to private area if your talking on phone.

把手机调成静音。如果打电话，请到私人区域。

Funny, this should be norm in general irrespective of the country but sadly look where we are.

有趣，无论哪个国家，这都应该是常态，但可悲的是，看看我们现在的处境。

that’s called basic etiquette which should be applied anywhere you go, not just when you’re in a different country lmfao

这叫基本礼仪，无论去哪里，都应该遵守，而不是只有在不同的国家才遵守，笑死我了

Why are all the above exclusive to 'abroad'. I followed all the points you mentioned in India too. It's basic civic sense.

为什么以上这些都是“国外”独有的?在印度我也遵循你提到的所有要点。这是基本的公民意识。

On the London tube: Let passengers off the train before you enter. I've definitely noticed a pattern of Indians standing right in the centre of the entrance blocking people from exiting because they expect to walk in first. You're supposed to wait on the side, and only enter when everyone has come off.

在伦敦地铁上:让下车乘客先下车再上车。我确实注意到一个规律，印度人经常站在入口正中央，阻止人们离开，因为他们想先进去。你应该在旁边等候，所有下车乘客都下车后再进去。

I had an extremely tiring day once, and there was an Indian woman waiting at the entrance to the train. As soon as the door opened she barged in as if there weren't 15 people waiting to get off. Since I was the first exiting I just walked straight into her and pushed her back because I didn't have the patience to deal with her bullshit. I looked back and she was super offended and staring at me. I still don't think she understood she left no room for anyone to exit the train.

有一次我非常累，有个印度女人在车入口处等着。门一开，她就冲了进去，就好像没有15个人等着下车似的。我是第一个下车的，我就直接撞过去，把她推了回去，我可没有耐心和她废话。然后我回头看了一眼，发现她非常生气，死盯着我。我觉得她不明白自己没有给别人留出下车的空间。
