GIFTS

  • What to offer... and what not to offer? Gifts are not common in Luanda, so there is no need to bring anything; if you do decide to offer a gift, don't be surprised if it is not opened in front of you;
  • To whom? If you want to bring gifts, you should offer a gift to everyone in the room, starting with the oldest person present;
