Residence• “If you don’t REALLY
need it, DON’T bring it!”
• Keep only what you are prepared to use
• Always keep things clean and less cluttered
• Half of what you presently own is useless in Bermuda

Residence• Conserve water• Rain water is collected
from roof, stored in tank• Use only what you
need-overuse can create problems for visitors
• “Be sensible. Be aware. Think. An early morning shower is pointless if you’ll be on the beach before noon

Budgeting• EXPENSIVE!• Grocery and house bills
are double or triple typical prices.
• Live on a budget• Only buy what you
need• Enjoy free activities-
picnics, walks on the beaches, see tourist sights. Go to early bird specials for dinner

Be Considerate• Bermuda has many laws,
controls and regulations• Necessary for the survival
of the quality of life • Be considerate of their
permit laws• Follow common dress
codes-must have shirt at all times, appropriate length, modest, not individualistic
• Bermudians deserve first rights

Be Considerate• Patience is required!• Bermudians work very
slow• “Island time”- more laid
back unlike Americans• “YOU MUST SLOW
DOWN”. Bermudians will not speed up to your time
• Try to learn their dialect. Different language
• Keep their land clean and no littering!
