What are the customs in the Bahamas?

Bahamians have the same names as Europeans and Americans, that is, the first name comes first and the last name comes last. Black people have been culturally assimilated by white people, so names are no exception. When people meet, they shake hands and call men Mr. and women Mrs. and Miss. As early as 65438+80' s, blacks were basically Christians, and people strictly abided by their own religious rules. It is a business habit in the Bahamas to wear a suit when visiting government agencies. Wear pants, shirts and ties at other times. Visiting public and private units requires a contract first. Sales attitude should be conservative. Avoid meeting at breakfast. If you are good at sailing and navigation, or are familiar with relevant common sense, it will be of great benefit to you. You will find that the offices of local businessmen are likely to be located in the yacht club in Nassau, the capital. Religion: Most residents in the Bahamas believe in Christianity. Religion is an indispensable part of the life of Bahamian residents. Even the smallest village has its own church, and some even have more than one. Festivals: Jankanu Carnival is a unique festival in the Bahamas, which is held on Boxing Day (65438+February 26th) and New Year's Day (65438+ 10/day) every year. The carnival parade is divided into several groups, each group has 1000 members, and each group has a different theme. Their costumes, dances and music should all reflect the theme of this group. After Jankanu Carnival, the judges will award cash prizes. The three main awards are best music, best costume and best group performance. The costumes of the parade are made of colorful crepe paper and cardboard, which are very beautiful.
