The Do's and The Don'ts while visit at The Village

There are some rules and manners to be observed while in the village:

Do

• Do smile when you greet people. It is normal to see people in the tourist indsutry to greet visitors by placing their right hand over their left chest. By that it means "I greet you from my heart".
• Do dress appropriately when entering places of worship to wear long sleeves and loose pants or long skirts.
• Do remove your shoes when entering homes and places of worship.
• Do point with the thumb of your right hand, fingers folded and not with the forwefinger.
• Do help preserve reefs and beaches by leaving coral and shells untouched. 

Don'ts

• Don't touch the head of the adults.
• Don't kiss anyone in the public.
• Don't point your toes at anyone.
• Don't offer to shake hands unless you know that your acquaintances are fairly Westernized. Even then, let them offer to shake first. Never shake hands with women unless they offer to do so first.
