"In Lasi, it is important to be aware of the cultural norms, especially those related to respect. In general, avoid speaking loudly or aggressively in public, being overly physical (like hugging or touching) with strangers, and showing off or speaking in a disparaging manner are considered rude and may offend. Moreover, if you are invited to someone's home, be sure to take off your shoes at the door and bring a small gift or treat," said a member in Lasi, Romania.
