- Do not enter anyone's house or temple without permission. Always, leave off your shoes outside, if you are permitted. The host may not want you inside the kitchen or near the cooking corner and praying room.
- Revealing clothes are frowned upon. Do not changes dress in open. Hugging or kissing or any other sexual displays in public is criticized.
