• Banks, shops, and businesses may close during major national or religious holidays.
• Public transport services may be limited on holiday dates.
• Understand that local customs, including greetings and modesty, are important to respect.
• When discussing sensitive topics (e.g., history or politics), exercise sensitivity and caution.
