- Use caution regarding the casual use of descriptive terms ('negro,' 'flaco,' 'gordo') among locals; they may be signs of endearment. While generally welcoming, be prepared for politically divided discussions and approach current politics with empathy and respect. Also, be mindful of local gestures (e.g., pouting lips when pointing) which may not imply romance.
