Are you going on vacation abroad this year? You should learn little about gestures because what you say with your body at
home mean something completely different in another country.
You are in China and your friend is introducing you to her father. He stands opposite you, holding his right hand in a fist
against his left palm and nodding slightly. You feel nervous. Have you done something wrong? A tight fist usually suggests
anger. Well, in China this gesture is a polite way to greet someone.
You are in Thailand. You are sitting on a bus with the soles of your shoes showing. Whoops!
Be careful. This is insulting.
You are invited to a family meal in Greece. You are talking with your friend and you nod your head up and down to show
you agree. However, he looks confused and a little surprised. That is because in Greece people nod their head upward to
express disagreement while we shake our head.
The world of gestures can be very confusing. A harmless gesture in one country can be bad behavior in another. So, when
you are abroad, be very aware of what you are saying with your body.
