"It is important to be mindful of cultural differences when visiting Vancouver. It is important to be respectful of the local customs and traditions, and to be aware of any potential cultural faux pas. For example, it is important to be aware of the local Indigenous peoples and their culture, and to be respectful of their land and traditions. Additionally, it is important to be aware of the local language and to avoid using offensive language or making jokes about cultural differences. It is also important to be aware of the local dress code and to dress appropriately for the occasion. Finally, it is important to be aware of the local customs and to be respectful of the local people and their culture," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Vancouver, Canada.
