Awkey Gestures

In class yesterday we learned about other cultures and there gestures. I believe that it is important to know about other cultures so that we are not ignorant. We learned about the fake pump nose flinch. That was really funny and strange. I think that in America we do things that people in other cultures would think is weird. For example we do the "sup" thing with our heads when we say hey/sup. We have made the middle finger universal for Beep you. lol. Im not sure if other cultures do it but we do the peace sign with our fingers. I thought that it was kind of odd that one culture they hold hands in business meetings as a sign of friendship. That would be really awkey if that happened to me and i didnt know any of their coustoms. Im still trying to figure out things that we do...hmmm....Like when we talk we use slang and jokes that other cultures would find super offensive such as your mom. if we said tu madre to someone from mexico that would be offensive and that would suck. Its really important to be aware of the world around you and not just live in a little bubble. There are other cultures out there that are awesome! Yay! =]
