"In Telcublic, it's considered rude to speak loudly in public places, especially in restaurants or on public transportation. It's also important to respect the local customs and traditions, such as removing your shoes when entering someone's home. Avoid discussing sensitive topics such as politics, religion, and the country's communist past unless you are very familiar with the person you are talking to. The Czech people are generally private and reserved, so it's best to avoid personal questions or overly friendly behavior until you've established a relationship. When dining, it's customary to wait for the host to start eating before you begin. Also, leaving a small amount of food on your plate is considered polite, as it signifies that you were served more than enough. In the Czech Republic, punctuality is highly valued. Arriving late to a meeting or social gathering is seen as disrespectful. It's also important to remember that tipping is customary in the Czech Republic. In restaurants, it's common to leave a tip of around 10% of the total bill. Finally, when greeting someone, a firm handshake is the norm. However, close friends may greet each other with a kiss on the cheek. It's best to follow the lead of the person you are meeting," commented one expat who made the move to Telc, Czechia.
