"It is important to be respectful of local customs and traditions when visiting Tallinn. It is considered rude to be late for appointments or social engagements, so it is important to be punctual. It is also important to dress modestly and conservatively, as revealing clothing is considered inappropriate. Additionally, it is important to be aware of the local language and to avoid speaking loudly in public. Finally, it is important to be respectful of local religious beliefs and to avoid making jokes or comments about them," remarked another expat in Tallinn, Estonia.
"I went into Sauna with a towel. Everyone is supposed to go completely naked together. It's normal here. I was laughed at because I felt weird hanging out naked with a bunch of guys. Now it doesn't even phase me since it is part of the culture," said a member in Tallinn, Estonia.
