"It is important to be respectful of the local customs and traditions in Columbus. It is best to avoid making jokes or comments that could be seen as offensive or insensitive to the local culture. Additionally, it is important to be mindful of the local dress code and to dress appropriately for the occasion. It is also important to be aware of the local laws and regulations, and to respect the rights of others.
