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

Answer this Question

We asked people in Olten 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!...

"In Olten, it is considered impolite to be late to appointments or social events. It is also important to be respectful of local customs and to dress appropriately for the occasion. Additionally, you should show respect for other peoples' beliefs and opinions, and be aware that public displays of affection (such as kissing or hand-holding) are generally discouraged. Smoking and street begging are also considered offensive and may result in fines. Finally, try to be mindful of Olten's quiet hours, which usually begin after 11pm," commented one expat who made the move to Olten, Switzerland.
