As a foreigner, locals will be keen to say hello and ask you what you're up to in their country!Never get angry at anyone, in the Basotho culture, people never show frustration towards others, and if you do, then you can easily really offend someone (you will almost certainly get frustrated when dealing with Lesotho officialdom, always keep your cool no matter how much buffoonery you are subjected to!). To show respect when giving and receiving items, use both hands. Also show a respect for food - don't throw it around, or eat whilst walking.
