#TRLT Q5: Verbal language and non-verbal language (gestures, expressions, eye contact) can all share different cultural meanings. What have you learned that captivated you on The Road Less Travelled. Share a photo! via @LindaPeters64

#trlt A5: There's a particular way they do handshakes in Ghana that I was taught, that's hard to describe, but it's more indepth than an English one, more touching.

A5: hand gestures, can share different cultural meanings. I have learned that beckoning someone by curling your index finger toward you with you palm face upward has negative connotations in China, Japan, Singapore, and other parts of East Asia.

replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @LindaPeters64 A5. One thing I’ve learned but never fully understood is that Russians end friendly messages with ))) rather than xxx. Back when they sent friendly messages. #TRLT

replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @LindaPeters64 A5: the eyes tells it all. A gaze, a look, Look people in the eyes and you can tell their thoughts. The eyes can't hide the truth #trlt Photo: These are the eyes of a young man who wants us to enjoy the treats he prepared for us in Lafayette #trlt #tbexlafayette #Lafayettetravel

replying to @JLipowski @JLipowski @LindaPeters64 A5) I learned from another former coworker that hand gestures can mean different things in different countries like a simple wave in the United States means something very negative in his native Greece. #TRLT
