When I was traveling, I would learn, at least, numbers and please and thank you in the local language or languages. Sometimes people would laugh at me for doing it wrong, but it helped when haggling. People do appreciate a please and thank you in their language, even if done wrong.

Not to say, beautiful friends, too. I have noticed in my travels that people are people and pretty much the same everywhere I went. Same concerns, same aims and same goals with the same feelings everywhere I went. The only change seems to be the psychopathic leaders.

I found if you brought some ingredient that they would have a hard time getting, you were much more appreciated. I was in a place where sugar was hard to get, so I got a lot of 50g packets made up and gave them out to my hosts. They really appreciated it.

Good point to remind (learn some words , numbers, sentences when you are in a foreign country )

sharing this from my notebook 👀
Starting with how to say hello and bye, then food.
- how to order from restaurants
- how to buy things from the local market ( number and money )
- asking or explaining for directions
- learn self-introduction
- where are you from
- What do you do
- why did you come here

This is good if you are staying in one place for a long time. Food is definitely a big deal and you have to watch your weight. I really started to worry when I got to be 70Kg. I started eating a ration of sweet protein every day to keep my weight from going below that.
