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

Answer this Question

We asked people in English Harbour 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!...

"When visiting English Harbour, Antigua and Barbuda, it's important to respect the local customs and traditions. Dress modestly when not on the beach, as revealing clothing can be seen as disrespectful. Avoid making negative comments about the local food, people, or culture, as this can be seen as offensive. It's also considered rude to take photos of people without their permission, so always ask first. Don't touch or handle items in local markets without permission, as this can be seen as disrespectful. Avoid discussing sensitive topics such as politics or religion, as these can lead to heated debates. Always remember to tip for good service, as it's customary in Antigua and Barbuda. Lastly, remember to respect the environment by not littering or damaging local flora and fauna," said another expat in English Harbour, Antigua & Barbuda.
