"It is important to be aware of cultural differences when visiting Hannover. To avoid making a cultural faux pas, it is important to be respectful of local customs and traditions. For example, it is considered rude to be late for appointments or social engagements, so it is important to be punctual. Additionally, it is important to dress appropriately for the occasion, as dressing too casually or too formally can be seen as disrespectful. It is also important to be aware of the local language and to avoid speaking too loudly in public. Finally, it is important to be aware of the local customs regarding physical contact, as some cultures may be more comfortable with physical contact than others," wrote a member who made the move to Hannover, Germany.
