This is an important part of the Kenyan culture. It unites the forty different tribes and makes Kenya what it is today. The most important custom is the handshake. This is the basis of any relationship in Kenya. It is the initial stage of any greeting process and if ignored, no relationship can grow afterward. After the greeting, small talk proceeds where general inquiries of one's family, health, business and livestock are asked. Even questions of how the weather of the place you are from are asked.
In Kenyan customs, it is rude to look someone in the eye when having a conversation. This is a sign of lack of respect for the other person. Keeping time is a virtue known only in the west. When someone gives you an appointment for 8, just know that it is either 8.30 or 9. There are no scheduled times when meetings should end too. Queuing at cafeterias, bus stops and other places is a norm that goes without asking.
Nudity is an abomination in the country. Women are supposed to wear descent clothes that cover most of the body parts. Trousers for women are yet to be acceptable to some communities especially in the rural areas. Women are supposed to be under the men and in many places and homes; they are treated as the servant though she is the woman of the house. A woman is not supposed to talk before a crowd of men. She is only supposed to keep quit and talk back when asked to. So are the children.
