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

Answer this Question

We asked people in Boston 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 Boston, it is important to be respectful of the local culture and customs. It is considered impolite to talk loudly in public places, such as restaurants and bars. It is also important to be aware of the local dress code and to dress appropriately for the occasion. Additionally, it is important to be mindful of the local language and to avoid using slang or profanity. Finally, it is important to be respectful of the local sports teams and to avoid making negative comments about them," commented one expat who made the move to Boston, the United States.
