Travellers may find it difficult to manage outside of relatively cosmopolitan port cities such as [[Valēka]], [[Saar-Silverda]], [[Béyasar]], [[Sirana]], [[Pontevedra]], and [[Cities of Kiravia#Sar-i-Pául|Sar-i-Pául]]. Comprehension of major international languages such as [[Caphiric Latin|Latin]] and [[Julian Ænglish|Ænglish]] outside of these urban centres ranges from unreliable to nonexistent, though [[Gaelic in Kiravia|speakers of Gaelic]] are reasonably common in many parts of the country. The challenges posed by a different script, [[Coscivian calendar|different timekeeping system]], [[Federalist system of units|different units of measure]], and an apparently wilful refusal to adopt many {{wp|Signage#Signage_conventions|informational signage conventions}} and international technical standards are compounded by alien social customs and a minefield of cultural taboos, the particularities of which can vary widely from locality to locality. The Office of Visitor Services strongly advises foreigners looking to experience the "real Kirav" to invest in an accredited guide or interpreter and a comprehensive guidebook. | Travellers may find it difficult to manage outside of relatively cosmopolitan port cities such as [[Valēka]], [[Saar-Silverda]], [[Béyasar]], [[Sirana]], [[Pontevedra]], and [[Cities of Kiravia#Sar-i-Pául|Sar-i-Pául]].
