What unacceptable things have you experienced while working in Africa?

What unacceptable things have you experienced while working in Africa? Let me talk in detail below about the things I encountered that made people speechless and unacceptable. Poor sense of time

I used to work in Beijing. In order not to be late for work, my roommates would get up early and arrive at the company a few minutes early. After I came to Africa, I kept the same good habit and got up very early every day. However, my African colleagues were completely different. They usually slept until they woke up naturally, had no sense of time, and were often late for work. Hygiene habits

Since there are 16 people living in our dormitory, I was quite worried on the first day of living in the dormitory, worried that everyone would rush to take a shower. Only in the evening did I realize that I was overthinking it. No one was competing with me to take a shower. They didn’t even take a shower or even brush their teeth. Farming is lazy

Farming in Africa is very simple. Unlike our domestic farming, sowing and fertilizing are based on scientific basis. In Africa, farming is not so particular. When they plant crops, they just scatter the seeds in the ground and leave them alone without watering. Whether the seeds will grow into food is a matter of nature. Even if the seeds barely grow into crops, the weeds in the ground will cover the crops. They don't weed them and cultivate the land in a Buddhist style. The seeds are sown casually and they grow wherever they want. When they grow, they are eaten. If they do not grow, they are not eaten. Food Hygiene

Africans eat very vigorously. Several people gather around a large iron basin to eat with their hands, and sometimes eat raw meat. In fact, this is not the first time I have seen people eating with their hands. When I went to India, I also saw Indians eating with their hands, but everyone ate his own meal, while Africans eat with dozens of people using their hands. Eat in a basin. Rejection of unknown advanced things

While I was in Africa, I heard a true story told by an African colleague, which was later adapted into a movie. A colleague said: There was a father and son. The child was very smart. He went to the fields with his father to plant crops and saw that many of the crops that were about to mature in the fields had withered due to drought. The child came up with the idea of ??using wind power to drive water to irrigate crops.

When he told his father his idea, his father angrily scolded him and told him not to have wishful thinking. This kind of thing is not something we can do. Let the crops be grown as they can!

Later, the child made an irrigation windmill and successfully irrigated crops. However, the child's ending was not good. He failed to go to school due to poverty. Instead, he inherited his father's family business and became a farmer. Inequality between men and women

Africa has both monogamy and polygamy. Any man with some money in Africa will marry several wives. Many men in Africa are lazy. They usually stand in groups on the road chatting, leaving all the heavy work at home to their wives and children. Grabbing people and asking for money

When I first went to Africa, when I was walking on the road, a group of children would often surround me and ask for money. If I didn’t give them money, they would grab my clothes and prevent me from letting me go. Even if I leave, they will scold me. I really can't accept this. This kind of situation will not happen in China. Lack of knowledge about healthy drinking water

When I was in Africa, drinking water also became a problem. The water from the tap cannot be drank directly. It must be boiled in a kettle before drinking. But what makes me speechless is that there are power outages here every three days. Whenever there is a power outage, I cannot bear to drink water because I didn’t understand when I first came to Africa. I drank the water directly from the tap and had diarrhea for three days.
