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

Answer this Question

We asked people in Fairylands 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!...

"In Fairylands, it's important to respect the local customs and traditions. Avoid wearing revealing clothing, especially in religious or formal settings, as it is considered disrespectful. It's also considered impolite to refuse an invitation to someone's home. If you're invited, it's customary to bring a small gift for the host. Avoid discussing sensitive topics such as politics and religion, unless the other person initiates the conversation. Bermudians are generally polite and reserved, so try to avoid loud or boisterous behavior. It's also important to respect the environment. Don't litter or disturb wildlife, and always follow local guidelines when visiting natural areas. Tipping is customary in Bermuda, so be sure to tip appropriately in restaurants, taxis, and other service industries. Finally, remember that Bermudians drive on the left side of the road. If you're not used to this, it can be easy to forget and accidentally walk or drive on the wrong side, which can be dangerous," said another expat in Fairylands, Bermuda.
