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

Answer this Question

We asked people in Carlisle Bay 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 Carlisle Bay, 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, culture, or people, as this is considered rude. It's also considered impolite to take photos of locals without their permission. Always ask before you snap a picture. Avoid discussing sensitive topics such as politics and religion, as these can lead to heated debates. It's also important to remember that punctuality is not highly valued in Antigua and Barbuda. Don't be offended if locals are late for appointments or social gatherings. Finally, remember to tip for good service. While it's not mandatory, it's a common practice and shows appreciation for the service provided," said another expat in Carlisle Bay, Antigua & Barbuda.
