International Body Language
In Brazil, pulling down the lower lid of the right eye means
that the listener doubts what you are saying.
In Greece, tilting your head back while making a clicking
sound with your tongue means no.
In Hong Kong, only animals are beckoned with a finger. To
signal someone to come to you, reach out, palm down, and
flutter your fingers.
In Japan, women cover their mouths when they laugh because
it is considered impolite to show their teeth.
In Pakistan, it is not rude to stare at other people. It is
impolite to show tlhe soles of your feet or point a foot
while sitting on the floor.
In Spain, snapping the thumb and first finger together a few
times is a form of applause.
In Sri Lanka, moving your head from side to side means yes
and nodding your head up and down means no!
In Thailand, people point to an object with their chins, not
their hands.
;) :) :cool:
