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

Answer this Question

We asked people in Liberta 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!...

"When visiting Liberta in Antigua and Barbuda, it's important to respect the local customs and traditions. Dress modestly, especially when visiting religious sites or attending local events. Public nudity, including topless sunbathing, is not accepted and can be considered disrespectful. Avoid making negative comments about the local food, culture, or people. Antiguans are proud of their heritage and may take offense to any criticism. It's also considered rude to take photos of locals without their permission. Always ask before taking a picture, as some people may not feel comfortable being photographed. Avoid discussing sensitive topics such as politics, religion, or racial issues. These topics can be seen as controversial and may lead to uncomfortable situations. Do not litter or damage the environment. Antigua and Barbuda is known for its beautiful beaches and natural landscapes, and locals take great pride in preserving their environment. Lastly, punctuality is not highly stressed in Antigua and Barbuda. However, it's still important to be on time for formal events or business meetings," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Liberta, Antigua & Barbuda.
