When greeting someone, a kiss on both cheeks is customary, but avoid doing this if you're meeting someone for the first time. It's also considered impolite to refuse food or drink when offered by a host. Avoid wearing revealing clothing, especially in religious places, as it's seen as disrespectful. It's considered impolite to arrive on time for social events, as locals usually arrive a bit late. Avoid speaking loudly in public places as it's seen as disrespectful and disruptive. Do not litter, as locals take pride in their clean and beautiful environment. Avoid making negative comments about the local culture, people, or customs. Do not take photos of locals without their permission, as it's considered disrespectful. Avoid using your left hand for eating or passing things to others, as it's considered unclean. Do not touch or handle items in markets or shops unless you intend to buy them. Avoid public displays of affection, as they are considered inappropriate. Do not point at people or things with your finger, as it's considered rude. Instead, use your whole hand.
