Taiwanese doctor included in Abu Dhabi tourism video

2024-05-15

There are countless cultures in this world. When a doctor from Taichung went to Dubai and Abu Dhabi, he tried on a traditional white robe and headscarf to experience part of their culture. The local police noticed he wasn’t wearing the headscarf quite right, so they helped adjust it. To the doctor’s surprise, this moment ended up in Abu Dhabi’s tourism video!

This is the World Tourism Day video released by Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates. The man seen wearing a white robe and having his headscarf adjusted is none other than Taiwanese doctor Chiu Hung-chieh.

As soon as I got there, I saw there were police everywhere. At first, I was nervous because I thought I might get in trouble. But then they gave us gifts and told us how safe it is here for tourists.

Chiu, a urologist at Asia University Hospital, came to the UAE for the 20th Urological Association of Asia Congress, where he presented about the benefits of flexible ureteroscopy surgery. When they had time off from meetings, Chiu and other doctors toured around and wore traditional white robes and headscarves according to local custom. But they didn’t wear them quite right, so the locals lent a helping hand.

In the Arab world, different headscarves represent different regions. People from Qatar and Abu Dhabi usually wear white.

When they got to the Louvre Abu Dhabi, the staff kindly helped them adjust their headscarves, allowing tourists to experience foreign customs.

A local guy came up to us to fix our headscarves. He told us that locals think wearing it this way is more handsome.

Normally outfitted in white coats, these doctors changed into white robes when they visited Abu Dhabi. Their unexpected inclusion in a local tourism video made the trip unforgettable.

2024-05-15

世界之大，習俗各不相同!台中市有醫師，到杜拜及阿布達比旅遊，入境隨俗，穿上回教白袍，以及戴上白頭巾，體驗沙漠風情，不過，因為頭巾的戴法有點不一樣，當地警察當場伸出手來，協助調整，這個橋段，還意外被放進觀光宣傳影片裡!

這是阿拉伯聯合大公國首都，阿布達比警方發布的，世界旅遊日宣傳影片，而其中一位穿著白袍、被調整頭巾的男子，是台灣醫師邱鴻傑。

“一去就發現，他們旁邊擺滿了警車，其實一開始會緊張，想說會不會被逮捕?後來發現他們就送給我們禮物，告訴我們，他們在這邊觀光旅遊，是很安全的。”

原來，亞大附醫泌尿科主治醫師，邱鴻傑，到阿布達比，參加"亞洲泌尿醫學會"，分享軟式輸尿管鏡手術等，能提升治療效果。在嚴肅的會議之餘，台灣醫師們，在當地旅遊，入境隨俗穿上阿拉伯白袍，也戴上頭巾，不過，戴法似乎不太對，所以當地人就地調整。

“阿拉伯地區，根據頭巾，是可以區分它是不同的地區，簡單的分法，白色的，可能就比較偏向，就是阿布達比、卡達這一些。”

醫師也到了阿布達比羅浮宮，館方人員很熱情，伸出手就代為整理頭巾，柔性手法讓遊客體驗異國風情。

“當地就有一個帥哥，過來幫我們調整頭上的頭巾，還會告訴我們說，他們當地人，覺得這樣比較帥。”

台灣這群平時上班穿白袍的醫師們，遠到阿布達比當遊客，卻也穿白袍，還意外進了當地的觀光影片，留下難得的紀錄。
