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

Answer this Question

We asked people in Paraguay 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!...

"It is important to be mindful of cultural differences when visiting Paraguay. It is considered rude to show up late to social gatherings, so it is important to arrive on time. It is also important to dress modestly, as Paraguay is a conservative country. It is also important to be respectful of the local language, Guarani, and to avoid speaking English or any other language in public. Additionally, it is important to be aware of the local customs and to avoid making any comments that could be seen as offensive or disrespectful," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Paraguay.
