Answer this Question

"It is important to be aware of the cultural norms in Glasgow. It is best to avoid making jokes about religion or politics, as these topics can be sensitive. Additionally, it is important to be respectful of local customs and traditions, such as not wearing revealing clothing in public places. It is also important to be aware of the local language and to avoid using slang words or phrases that may be offensive. Finally, it is important to be mindful of personal space and to avoid invading someone else's space without permission," remarked another expat who made the move to Glasgow, Scotland.
