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

"When visiting Levuka, it's important to respect the local customs and traditions. Dress modestly, especially when visiting villages or religious sites. Women should cover their shoulders and knees, and it's considered disrespectful for anyone to wear hats or touch another person's head. Always ask for permission before taking photographs, especially of people or sacred sites. It's considered rude to refuse food or drink when offered, as sharing food is a significant part of Fijian culture. Avoid walking through villages during the evening kava ceremonies unless you are invited. Kava is a traditional drink, and these ceremonies are an important part of Fijian culture. Do not enter a house if you see shoes outside the door, as this is a sign that a ceremony is taking place inside. Always remove your shoes before entering someone's home. Avoid public displays of affection, as they are considered disrespectful. It's also important to remember that homosexuality is not widely accepted in Fijian society. Respect the local wildlife and environment. Do not litter or damage any plants or animals. Always follow the guidelines provided by local authorities or tour guides. Finally, always greet people with a smile and a friendly "Bula", which means hello in Fijian. This simple gesture can go a long way in showing respect and goodwill towards the local people," said a member in Levuka, Fiji.
