• Cuban culture is generally courteous and direct. Avoid political discussions or inquiries into local politics, as this can make locals uncomfortable. Supporting local economies by staying in *casas particulares*, eating in *paladares*, or shopping from street vendors is encouraged. Note that local vendors may view tourists as sources of goods and may ask for products that are difficult to acquire.
