PERSONAL CONDUCT

Cubans are immensely respectful and courteous, with a deep sense of integrity and exemplary morals.    Politeness is greatly appreciated, and you can ease your way considerably by being both courteous and patient.

Always greet your host with "Buenos días!" (morning) or "Buenas tardes!" (afternoon). And never neglect to say "Gracias" (thanks).

Honor local dress codes as appropriated. Topless and nude bathing are neither allowed nor accepted, except at key tourist resorts.
