What cultural faux pas should I try to avoid making in Mongolia?

Answer this Question

We asked people in Mongolia if they could share any humorous cultural blunders they commited. For new expats, keep in mind that these incidents are an inevitable part of expat life. Learning to laugh about them is the key!...

"It is important to be mindful of cultural norms when visiting Mongolia. It is considered rude to point with your finger, so it is best to gesture with your whole hand. It is also important to dress modestly, as showing too much skin is considered inappropriate. Additionally, it is important to respect the Mongolian culture and not make jokes or comments about it. Finally, it is important to be aware of the Mongolian customs around food and drink, such as not eating with your left hand or drinking alcohol in public," remarked another expat in Mongolia.
