Learn local customs and etiquette before I visit a country

Give me a practical etiquette briefing for an upcoming trip. Country or region: [WHERE - be specific if customs vary by region] My background: [WHERE I'M FROM, so you can point out the biggest differences] What I'll be doing: [e.g. sightseeing, visiting religious sites, staying with a local family, a business meeting, a wedding] Time of year: [MONTH - note any religious or national holidays that affect behavior] Cover: 1. Greetings and forms of address. 2. Dress expectations, especially for religious sites and rural areas. 3. Dining manners: ordering, eating, sharing, who pays, and tipping norms. 4. Gestures, body language, and topics to avoid. 5. Photography etiquette: when to ask permission. 6. Being a guest in someone's home: gifts, shoes, arriving on time. 7. Bargaining: where it's expected and where it isn't. 8. 5 common mistakes visitors make, and how to recover gracefully if I slip up. Rules: avoid stereotypes, note where customs vary between cities, generations, or communities, and say where something is a general tendency rather than a rule. If any local laws affect visitors (e.g. dress codes, alcohol, public behavior), flag them and tell me to confirm with official travel advice. Format as short sections I can skim on my phone, ending with a 10-line cheat sheet.
