Traveler advice
Customs and culture
Always greet with :
" Bon dia " Good morning
" Bon tardi " Good afternoon
" Bon nochi " Good evening
Always say " Danki " when receiving anything.
" Danki " means thank you in our native language Papiamento.
Entering a place say: " Bon dia "
When leaving a place you can say, " pasa un bon dia " which means have a great day!
Arubans always refer to other people by their names.
For example, instead of saying how are you, they say how are you, John. this is a way of showing great respect for the other person and that is the reason why most Arubans ask you for your name when they first meet you.
