The prompt · ChatGPT

Give me local customs to verify before we go.

Destination: [country/region]
We'll visit: [religious sites, homes, nightlife — list]
With kids: [yes/no]

Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers.

Then:
1. Customs and etiquette points to verify (each marked check).
2. Dress/modesty notes to confirm.
3. Tipping/payment norms marked check.
4. Official or reputable sources to open (including GOV.UK foreign travel advice).

Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts, prices, opening hours or bookings. Rules change, so don't state entry, visa or passport rules as certain — mark each 'check' and point me to GOV.UK foreign travel advice (and the passport/renew pages) so I confirm myself. This is planning help, not immigration or travel insurance advice. UK English.
