The Bahamas
Customs
The Bahamas have a lot of different customs. One example is gesstures. When you see a person, you are supposed to greet them with warm hugs, pats on a back, or handshakes. You usually use hand gestures and facial expressions. A person that has blank expressions, is considered negative. To express disgust, you make a sucking sound with your teeth and tilt your head back. A typical greeting is, Hey man, what's happin', or Good day. Bahamians usually arrive late, about one or two hours late. Family meals usually are on Sundays.
