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

Answer this Question

We asked people in Nassau 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!...

"I had to ask people to repeat themselves numerous times because I didn't understand what they were telling me with the local dialect. Sometimes I realized after it should have been obvious but I just was not getting it at the time," said another expat in Nassau, Bahamas.

"It is important to be respectful of local customs and traditions when visiting Nassau. It is considered rude to wear revealing clothing in public, so it is best to dress modestly. It is also important to be aware of the local laws and regulations, and to avoid engaging in activities that are illegal in the Bahamas. Additionally, it is important to be respectful of the local culture and to avoid making jokes or comments that could be seen as offensive. Finally, it is important to be mindful of the environment and to avoid littering or damaging the natural environment," wrote a member who made the move to Nassau, Bahamas.
