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

Answer this Question

We asked people in All Saints 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 All Saints, Antigua and Barbuda, it's important to respect 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 locals without their permission. Always ask before taking someone's picture. Public displays of affection are generally frowned upon, so try to keep these to a minimum. It's also considered impolite to raise your voice or show anger in public. Always remember to say "please" and "thank you", as manners are highly valued in Antiguan culture. Lastly, punctuality is not highly stressed in Antigua and Barbuda, so don't be surprised if things run a bit behind schedule. However, as a visitor, you should still strive to be on time for any appointments or reservations," said another expat in All Saints, Antigua & Barbuda.
