Open Question: What is appropriate dress code for females going out in Port Elizabeth, South Africa?

Tuesday, March 22nd, 2011

I’m an exchange student that will be living in Port Elizabeth, South Africa during July and I would love to know what the locals (females specifically) wear when going out at night to clubs/pubs/bars/restaurants, etc. Here at home, we usually wear a casual dress, jeans and a silk top, and heels or boots depending on the weather. I don’t want to give up my stilettos, but I don’t want to stand out either! Please help me in understanding what is appropriate and what is not. Thanks!

Open Question: What do foreign people think of tourists?

Thursday, August 5th, 2010

I really want to travel to many different foreign countries once I graduate high school but I need to learn a bit of each language. I just want to know what foreign people (or I guess they’d be the locals) think of American tourists? Like if they dressed in a similar fashion and weren’t so open about being a tourist (fanny packs, socks with sandals, camera around the neck) and went to local restaurants and not chains? Personally, I’d want to be the type of American tourist that goes against the typical American stereotype (loud, outspoken and generally unintelligent). Also, if you tried to speak their language but pronounced things wrong, would the locals appreciate the effort?

So I am going to New Zealand in the next couple of months, and want to know what i should go and see and do. I will be in Christchurch and Rangiora, I will only be there for about a week so i need like one day ideas and things.
