What cultural faux pas should I try to avoid making in Merida?

We asked people in Merida if they could share any humorous cultural blunders they commited. For new expats, keep in mind that these incidents are an inevitable part of expat life. Learning to laugh about them is the key!...

"It is important to be aware of cultural nuances when visiting Merida. Respect the local customs and dress conservatively by avoiding revealing clothing, particularly when visiting public or religious sites. Show respect to the local people by allowing them to set the pace of conversations and not engaging in any debates or discussions about religious topics, as this could be considered offensive. Additionally, avoid speaking loudly in public places as this is considered impolite in Merida. Furthermore, do not attempt to take photographs of people without obtaining their permission first, as this could be considered intrusive," commented one expat who made the move to Merida, Mexico.
