"In Dennery, it's important to respect local customs and traditions. Avoid wearing revealing clothing, especially in religious or traditional settings, as it is considered disrespectful. Public displays of affection are generally frowned upon, so try to keep affectionate gestures private. It's also considered rude to take photos of people without their permission, so always ask before you snap a picture. Avoid discussing sensitive topics such as politics or religion, as these can lead to heated debates. When dining, it's customary to use utensils and not your hands, unless the meal is traditionally eaten by hand. It's also considered impolite to leave food on your plate, as it can be seen as wasteful or unappreciative of the meal. Finally, punctuality is not highly stressed in Saint Lucia, so don't be surprised if events or meetings start later than scheduled. However, as a visitor, it's best to arrive on time to show respect," remarked another expat in Dennery, Saint Lucia.
