We asked people in Martinique 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 respectful of local customs and traditions when visiting Martinique. It is considered impolite to show up late to social gatherings, so it is important to arrive on time. It is also important to dress modestly and conservatively, as revealing clothing is considered inappropriate. Additionally, it is important to be aware of the local language and to avoid speaking loudly or using offensive language. Finally, it is important to be respectful of religious beliefs and to avoid discussing sensitive topics such as politics or religion," said another expat in Martinique.
