Religion is the thing about Tuvalu you should know because it is significant, with almost every Christian denomination represented. You should be prepared to be invited to a church service if you’re there on a Sunday, followed by a traditional family lunch at someone’s house. if you eat with Tuvaluans don’t be surprised if they say grace first. Shops are generally closed on Sundays, and there’ll be a bible at your bedside wherever you stay. It’s also a good idea to dress modestly, like the Tuvaluans.
