Local Tips & Etiquette

February 9, 2026

1. Greeting Locals

  • A warm smile and a gentle “Good Morning” or “Thank you” are always appreciated by locals. Bowing slightly is also a respectful gesture.

2. Mind the Noise

  • Many areas are peaceful residential zones, so we kindly ask you to keep noise to a minimum in the early mornings and late evenings.

3. Plastic-Free Efforts

  • Sunshine is making great strides in reducing plastic waste. Whenever possible, carry a reusable bag and water bottle, and say “no” to single-use plastics.

4. Tipping

  • Tipping isn’t required but is appreciated for good service, especially in restaurants and for drivers. A small tip of around 10% is common and will be warmly received.
