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

"In Falmouth, Antigua and Barbuda, it's important to respect the local customs and traditions. Dress modestly when you're not at the beach, as revealing clothing can be seen as disrespectful. Avoid making negative comments about the local food, culture, or people, as this can be seen as rude and offensive. It's also considered impolite to take photos of people without their permission, so always ask first. Don't touch or handle items in markets or shops unless you intend to buy them. When dining, it's customary to use utensils and not your hands, unless you're eating finger foods. It's also considered rude to leave food on your plate, as it can be seen as wasteful. Avoid discussing sensitive topics such as politics, religion, and race, as these can lead to uncomfortable situations. Remember to say "please" and "thank you" when appropriate, as manners are highly valued in Antiguan culture. Finally, punctuality is not highly stressed in Antigua and Barbuda, so don't be surprised if events or appointments don't start on time. However, as a visitor, you should still strive to be on time to show respect," said a member in Falmouth, Antigua & Barbuda.
