Taboos Etiquette in Moldova

Avoid loud, confrontational behavior, public drunkenness, and making jokes about poverty, politics, or the Soviet past, as these are likely to be read as rude or insensitive. It is also best not to criticize family, religion, or local traditions too casually; in villages especially, respect for elders and modest behavior are expected, and guests are often offered food and drink as part of hospitality.
