What cultural faux pas should I try to avoid making in La Paloma?

"When visiting La Paloma, it's important to respect the local customs and traditions to avoid any cultural faux pas. Firstly, punctuality is not highly valued in Uruguay, so don't be surprised if locals are late for appointments or social gatherings. However, as a foreigner, you should still strive to be on time. Uruguayans are known for their warm and friendly nature, so don't be taken aback by the close physical contact during conversations. Avoiding this can be seen as rude or standoffish. Similarly, it's common to greet with a single kiss on the cheek, even among strangers. Refusing this gesture might be seen as disrespectful. When dining, remember that Uruguayans usually eat late, with dinner often starting around 9 or 10 pm. It's also customary to say "Buen provecho" (Enjoy your meal) before starting to eat. Leaving a small amount of food on your plate when you're finished eating is considered polite. Uruguayans are very proud of their country and culture, so avoid making negative comments or comparisons to other countries. Also, while Uruguay is a progressive country, avoid discussing sensitive topics like politics and religion unless the other person initiates the conversation. Lastly, remember to respect the environment. La Paloma is known for its beautiful beaches and natural surroundings, so littering or damaging the environment in any way is highly frowned upon," remarked another expat who made the move to La Paloma, Uruguay.
