Mindful meoweler tips

Respectful Dress Code

Cats should be aware of the conservative nature of the Congolese people and dress modestly. Stray away from short skirts and shorts. As a sign of respect, a cat should consider covering their head when entering a local Mosque.

Greetings Are Super Important

Cats visiting Wamba should be prepared to greet people properly. It is important to use the right words while greeting, such as 'Bonjour' which means 'Hello' in French. A simple greeting could mean the difference between acceptance and disrespect.

Be Prepared To Haggle

Cats should be aware that haggling is a common practice when shopping in the local markets. To avoid being taken advantage of, cats need to adopt a more assertive approach when buying goods, since prices aren't usually displayed. Be respectful, but firm.
