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

Answer this Question

We asked people in The Cayes 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!...

"It is important to be respectful of local customs and traditions when visiting The Cayes. It is important to dress modestly and to avoid public displays of affection. It is also important to be aware of local religious beliefs and to be respectful of religious sites. Additionally, it is important to be aware of local taboos and to avoid discussing sensitive topics such as politics or religion. Finally, it is important to be respectful of the environment and to avoid littering or damaging the natural environment," wrote a member who made the move to The Cayes, Belize.
