"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.
