Within Dovani, you will find many gems. And in Southern Dovani, you will find the Democratic Republic of Xsampa. A socialist country with picturesque mountains in the North, roaming plains and forests in the South, and a wide coast to the East. So, it's no surprise that tourists do come to Xsampa when they can to see the sights of the country. However, ever so often, we see a case of tourists (understandably) being confused on expected norms within Xsampa, and where to visit. And that, is where today's conversation comes into play. 

The first thing to be established is of course, where to visit? After all, very rarely is the door open for tourists for most of Xsampa beyond a handful of cities and natural parks. So, let us start with the cities that are open to tourists, and what to do there before we cover anything else. First and foremost, the capital of the Xsampan Revolution, Metz-Leonid. Within the capital, tourists can find themselves with a plethora of activities to do, such as visiting cat cafes, or attending an opera. Or, if they prefer, they can see the sights of the city, such as the People's Palace, or perhaps Revolution Square and the assorted parks (with plenty of fountains) would interest them. If they're feeling particularly somber, they can visit the Memorial to the Victims of Nuclear War. 

Or perhaps, instead of visiting the bustling capital, they can visit the calm and quiet university town of Lenakha, where they can see the libraries across the city, the picturesque valley. Alternatively, they can go to the border with Bianjie, and see the The Monument to Eternal Friendship between Xsampa and Bianjie. A wonderful monument of two dinosaurs, symbolizing the friendship between Bianjie and Xsampa. Or maybe, they'd like to go south, below the Hanzen Shield Mountain Range, and see cities such as Gramdkarpo, with its stunning beaches, perfect for sunbathing, or surfing. Or perhaps, the Yak Petting Zoos in Gyatso Drong.

But with options come norms. Xsampa is a socialist country after all, and with most of the world capitalist, there are always bound to be cultural confusions. So for tourists, the do's and do nots of Xsampa are fairly simple. Do use the term "comrade" when addressing a Xsampan. Do not flaunt wealth. Do engage with Xsampans, we love a good conversation with foreigners. Do not mock the Bargas Chenpo. Tourists are guests, but even a rowdy guest can be thrown out. Tourists are usually given the benefit of the doubt, but it is worth noting that if a tourist is too troublesome, they do run the risk of being ejected out of the country and sent home, and in the worst cases, blacklisted from entering Xsampa outright. 

Whatever the case, this is but a small segment for tourists, but it should ideally be enough to assist tourists who do wish to visit one of the worlds longest lasting socialist states, and see socialist culture in action, or see the natural wonders of Xsampa.
