ReplyDeleteZemarcopolo,
ReplyDeleteNchi za western wanamanisha ulaya, marekani, australia, japan na nchi kama hizo. Hiyo experience ni muhimu kwasababu wameshafahamu wa-bongo, au ukipenda wadanganyika hawajui maana ya customer service. Wakija volunteers hapo wabongo watawafanyia mambo ya uswahilii mpaka itakuwa tabu.
Pia uelewa wa kitabia kama umetembea ni tofauti. Ni shida sana kwa mgeni ku-deal na mbongo ambaye hajasafiri.
