"It is important to be respectful of local customs and traditions when visiting Kiribati. It is considered rude to point with your finger, so it is best to gesture with your open hand. It is also important to dress modestly, as revealing clothing is considered inappropriate. Additionally, it is important to be aware of the local taboos and to avoid discussing sensitive topics such as politics or religion. Finally, it is important to be respectful of the local environment and to avoid littering," explained one expat living in Kiribati.
