Hi,
When living in a foreign country, you have to adapt to a new environment, various cultures and different social codes.
How did you manage to adjust to Liberia?
How long does it take to feel at home? Would you say it is an easy process?
According to you, what is key for a successful integration process in Liberia?
Thank you in advance for sharing your experience!

Tips and advice to thrive in Liberia

Liberia has changed a lot, but people still want to be treated with respect. Nobody eats alone so when you have someone with you, it is best to tell them "come, lets eat." Never return a bowl or plate empty to someone who have given you food in it. That is not done.
The biggest thing is that Westerners think that because Liberians avert their eyes and do not look people in their eyes, that Liberians are lying. Custom and upbringing dictates that Liberians do not look people directly in their eyes. That is disrespectful. So no, they are not lying, just being courteous.
Never call a person older than you by their first name. It is always Aunty, Uncle, Mr or Mrs. or Ms.

Hello everyone,
@ Fady Sharara, i am afraid you are off-topic on this thread. I suggest you create a new topic on the Liberia forum while introducing yourself and give some more details about your questions.
All the very best,
Bhavna
