Common courtesy to be treated to coffee when visiting homes.
Relaxed "Cuban time" exists where slight lateness is not considered rude.

Casual clothing acceptable but sleeved attire recommended at city halls or churches.
Tipping culture pervasive at approximately 10% in restaurants and taxis.
Liven music events with clapping and shouts like "¡Azúcar!"
