at a glance

notably, speaking loudly in a foreign language, especially while looking at people, can quickly be interpreted as offensive behavior and escalate into a confrontation - loud talking should be reserved for moments of direct conversations and not used while walking randomly in the crowds.

as such, never engage in arguments or fights, and refrain from getting involved in a domestic dispute, even if attempting to deescalate a situation between others - guests should simply stay neutral and relocate if necessary, avoiding any confrontation at all costs.

one basic rule of thumbs, is to avoid eavesdropping and onlyy participate in conversations with local revelers if invited to do so - the social structure at large events is not always immediately apparent - starting a conversation with the wrong person could be misinterpreted as a romantic attempt and easily become an unpleasant situation.  arrow-back      arrow-forward
