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

Answer this Question

We asked people in Glasgow 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!...

"It is important to be aware of the cultural norms in Glasgow. It is best to avoid making jokes about religion or politics, as these topics can be sensitive. Additionally, it is important to be respectful of local customs and traditions, such as not wearing revealing clothing in public places. It is also important to be aware of the local language and to avoid using slang words or phrases that may be offensive. Finally, it is important to be mindful of personal space and to avoid invading someone else's space without permission," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Glasgow, Scotland.
