What cultural faux pas should I try to avoid making in West Moorings?

Answer this Question

We asked people in West Moorings if they could share any humorous cultural blunders they commited. For new expats, keep in mind that these incidents are an inevitable part of expat life. Learning to laugh about them is the key!...

"In West Moorings, it is important to consider and respect the culture of the local community, especially when engaging with locals. Avoid clothing that is considered offensive or provocative, as this is seen as disrespectful. Greet people with kindness and avoid making jokes that could be seen as offensive and insulting to the local culture. When engaging in conversations and interactions, especially with elders, show respect by speaking calmly, avoiding speaking too loudly, and refraining from talking over people. Additionally, respect the local customs and traditions, such as avoiding entering into a home with your shoes on, refraining from touching someone’s head (a gesture seen as disrespectful in some cultures), and avoiding taking photos without permission," said another expat in West Moorings, Trinidad & Tobago.
