"It is important to be respectful of local customs and traditions when visiting La Ceiba. It is considered impolite to show too much skin in public, so it is best to dress modestly. It is also important to be aware of the local language and to avoid speaking English in public, as this can be seen as disrespectful. Additionally, it is important to be aware of the local religious beliefs and to avoid discussing sensitive topics such as politics or religion. Finally, it is important to be respectful of the local environment and to avoid littering or damaging the natural environment," remarked another expat who made the move to La Ceiba, Honduras.
