"In Ocho Rios, it is important to be respectful of the local culture and customs. It is considered rude to be overly loud or to dress inappropriately. It is also important to be aware of the local laws and to avoid taking photographs of people without their permission. Additionally, it is important to be mindful of the local religious beliefs and to avoid making any comments that could be seen as offensive or disrespectful," wrote a member who made the move to Ocho Rios, Jamaica.
