Adjusting to Cultural Norms Abroad
Traveling to new countries often requires adapting to different cultural practices and traditions. For instance, in some regions, the concept of a siesta—a midday break for rest or relaxation—is deeply ingrained. However, some travelers may not anticipate these cultural norms and can be caught off guard when businesses close unexpectedly in the afternoon.
While it may disrupt plans, it’s essential to respect and understand these customs, recognizing that local practices contribute to the unique charm and rhythm of each destination.
