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

We asked people in Tbilisi 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 Tbilisi, it is important to be respectful to local customs, and to observe common courtesies such as removing your shoes when entering someone's house. While it is acceptable to take photographs, some locals may be uncomfortable if you take pictures of a religious site. Additionally, it is best to avoid making any comments that could be perceived as disrespectful or offensive towards Georgian culture or history. While most Georgians are very friendly and welcoming, it is important to be aware of any potential cultural insensitivities," remarked another expat in Tbilisi, Georgia Rep, Georgia.

"Just translation/grammar mistakes. I was asked where I was from, answered 'the Netherlands' and when the baker ask where that was, in stead of saying 'that is West of Germany', I ended up saying 'that is in Western Germany"," said a member in Tbilisi, Georgia Rep.
