What cultural faux pas should I try to avoid making in Colonia del Sacramento?

"When visiting Colonia del Sacramento, it's important to respect the local customs and traditions to avoid any cultural faux pas. Uruguayans value punctuality, but it's not uncommon for them to arrive late to social gatherings. However, as a visitor, you should always strive to be on time. Avoid discussing politics and the country's past military dictatorship, as these topics can be sensitive. Uruguayans are known for their hospitality and friendliness, so refusing an invitation to someone's home may be seen as rude. When dining, keep your hands on the table (but not your elbows), and remember to say "Buen provecho" (Enjoy your meal) before you start eating. It's also considered polite to finish all the food on your plate, as leaving food can be seen as wasteful or ungrateful. Uruguayans are very tactile and often greet each other with a kiss on the cheek, even upon first meeting. However, always follow the other person's lead in these situations. Avoid wearing revealing clothing, especially in religious or formal settings. Uruguayans tend to dress conservatively and neatly, so try to follow suit. Finally, remember that Uruguayans are very proud of their country and culture. Avoid making negative comments or comparisons to other countries, as this can be seen as disrespectful," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay.
