"It is important to be respectful of Grenada's culture and customs. 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 revealing clothing is considered inappropriate. It is also important to be aware of the local customs and traditions, and to be respectful of them. Additionally, it is important to be aware of the local language and to avoid using offensive language. Finally, it is important to be respectful of the local religion and to avoid discussing sensitive topics such as politics or religion," commented one expat who made the move to Grenada.
