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

Answer this Question

We asked people in Georgia Rep 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!...

"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"," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Tbilisi, Georgia Rep.

"It is important to respect Georgia’s deep-rooted Christian traditions. Avoid using profane or offensive language, and refrain from public displays of affection. Showing respect for religious days, such as Good Friday, is also important; it is customary to dress conservatively and to abstain from activities such as gambling or drinking. It is also important to show respect for the elderly members of society; for example, it is considered polite to stand up when an elderly person enters the room. Additionally, speaking too loudly, especially in public places, is frowned upon," commented one expat who made the move to Georgia Rep.
