What cultural faux pas should I try to avoid making in Pune?
We asked people in Pune 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!...
"Probably. But none that stick out for us and our hosts were probably too polite to mention them," remarked another expat who made the move to Pune, India.
"It is important to be mindful of cultural norms when visiting Pune. It is important to dress modestly and to avoid public displays of affection. It is also important to be respectful of religious customs and to avoid taking photographs of people without their permission. Additionally, it is important to be aware of the local language and to avoid using offensive language or gestures. Finally, it is important to be aware of the local customs and to avoid making assumptions about people based on their appearance or beliefs," explained one expat living in Pune, India.
