"It is important to be mindful of cultural norms when visiting Mongolia. It is considered rude to point with your finger, so it is best to gesture with your whole hand. It is also important to dress modestly, as showing too much skin is considered inappropriate. Additionally, it is important to respect the Mongolian culture and not make jokes or comments about it. Finally, it is important to be aware of the Mongolian customs around food and drink, such as not eating with your left hand or drinking alcohol in public," commented one expat who made the move to Mongolia.
