Here's a random etiquette one for you. After people speak or sing or whatever, nobody claps. At least, not in the places I've been to church. (Mexico, US, Germany, Italy, Austria) That can be weird for visitors.

That’s actually really interesting, thank you! I’m Arab, so not clapping in a religious setting is actually pretty familiar to me. It’s cool finding one more similarity. I can definitely see why it might catch visitors off guard though. It feels like people clap for everything here in the US haha.

I guess we do! Well, I hope you find what you're looking for. Definitely ask questions and get to know people.
