What not to do when visiting Northern Mariana Islands
Don't forget the locals are on intimate terms with one another - when one encounters an older Chamorro, one need not say much, but is expected to at least nod with a bow or to kiss the elder’s hand briefly as a sign of respect. Casual ”Hellos” consists of raising of the eyebrows only.
Don’t be a victim of mosquito-borne diseases - protect yourself against bites by mosquitoes.
