"In Somerset Village, it's considered rude to not greet people before starting a conversation. Always say "good morning," "good afternoon," or "good evening" before engaging in conversation. Avoid discussing sensitive topics such as race, politics, and religion unless you are very familiar with the person you are talking to. Bermudians are generally polite and respectful, and they expect the same from visitors. Do not litter. Bermudians take pride in their beautiful island and expect visitors to respect their environment. Public nudity and topless sunbathing are not acceptable in Bermuda. Dress modestly when you are not at the beach. Do not take photographs of people without their permission. This is considered disrespectful and intrusive. Avoid being loud or obnoxious in public places. Bermudians value peace and quiet, and excessive noise is considered disrespectful. Do not assume everyone in Bermuda is wealthy. While Bermuda has a high standard of living, not everyone is affluent. Avoid making negative comments about the British monarchy. Bermuda is a British Overseas Territory and many Bermudians have a strong sense of loyalty to the Queen. Do not touch or disturb any marine life while snorkeling or diving. Bermuda's coral reefs are protected and it's illegal to touch or take anything from them. Avoid walking on the left side of the road. In Bermuda, vehicles drive on the left side of the road, so for safety, pedestrians should walk on the right," said a member in Somerset Village, Bermuda.
