I'm going to be travelling abroad soon and want to know about the local customs in the country I'm visiting. Can you tell me about them?

The customs of the country you're visiting will vary based on its traditions and culture. Before you travel, it is a good idea to research the customs of the country to ensure you understand the local norms and behaviors expected of visitors. This includes what is considered polite and respectful, such as how to greet and address people, appropriate dress codes and public behavior, and tipping and gift-giving customs. Oftentimes, people don’t realize they have committed an unintentional faux pas until they have already done so, so researching the local customs ahead of time can help you to avoid any potential conflicts.
