"When visiting Melbourne, it is important to be mindful and respectful of the local culture. Common cultural faux pas to avoid include failing to queue in line when waiting for a bus or train, not greeting or making eye contact when speaking to someone, speaking too loudly or profanely in public spaces, or failing to close a door after entering or exiting a room. Additionally, it is also important to avoid discussing sensitive topics, such as politics or religion, except for with close and trusted friends," wrote a member who made the move to Melbourne, Australia, Australia.
