Mindful meoweler tips

Dress Code Matters

In Moanda, it's important to cover your paws properly, especially if you happen to be a female cat. Skimpy clothing is frowned upon.

Bargain Hard at Markets

When shopping at the markets in Moanda, don't be afraid to haggle for a good price. The initial price is usually higher than what the seller expects.

Watch Out for Scams

Some cats in Moanda may approach you and offer to exchange money. Beware of scams and only use official currency exchange locations.

English isn't Widely Spoken

While French is the official language in Moanda, many cats speak local languages. It's important to have a few common phrases like 'hello' and 'thank you' memorized.
