New school year!

Hi everybody, as you might know we are starting a new year -Our last high school year, hopefully!- and I'm so excited because each year is different and spontaneous, bringing us great surprises and showing us how to be more mature. So in this first post I'm going to talk about different cultural gestures because I think it’s important to understand other people and how they behave, so then we don’t hurt their feelings by offending them with our own traditions.

 Did you know? 

* In America a firm handshake is considerate an heterosexual act and indicates self-confidence, but if you give a limp handshake it can be interpreted as a sign of weakness or homosexuality. However, in Africa a limp handshake is the correct way to do it.

Also

* Shaking the head in an horizontal direction in most countries means “no”  while in India means “yes”.
