Never Sit With Your Feet Pointing At A Family Altar

Source: https://www.vietvisiontravel.com

Most homes have a family altar in some corner of a room. There will be photos of family members, including the deceased. Do not seat across it with your feet pointing directly at it, it is disrespectful and believed to bring bad omens. Most homes believe in this. You don’t want to bring them bad luck. You host or hostess will actually guide you to your seat anyway, normally the best one in the house. So be aware. Respect their beliefs and traditions. It pays to do research about local beliefs, customs, and traditions.
