As Kenyans prepare for the December holidays, many are making plans to visit their loved ones in rural areas. However, with the change of environment comes a need to adapt and be mindful of certain cultural and practical norms.
Published on December 4, 2019, a list of things to avoid doing while visiting rural areas has gone viral, and for good reason.
Here are some of the things you should leave behind:
- Wearing fake lashes, a fashion trend that may not be appreciated in rural areas.
- Long nails, which can be a hazard when scrubbing sufurias or engaging in other household chores.
- Body con dresses, which may be too revealing for rural settings.
- High heels, which can be impractical and even hazardous on rural roads.
- Twerking, a dance move that may not be well-received in conservative areas.
By being mindful of these cultural and practical norms, you can ensure a more enjoyable and respectful visit to your loved ones in rural areas.
