AGAIN #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

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

@TheTravelCamel @loyaltytravels @findinganeish @LindaPeters64 I have to be in the right mind-space, otherwise it ends badly for me. #trlt
So, I was fine in Bangladesh, but very much not so in Ethiopia. And I went to both places in very different frames of mind.

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 @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot @TheTravelCamel @loyaltytravels @LindaPeters64 I can understand this. Even Greek and the Scandi languages unease me with only a couple of unique characters. It’s very uncanny valley. #TRLT

A5- One thing I learned while living in 🇯🇵#Japan is that Americans talk over each other, while Japanese wait for each other to finish before speaking. I'm always cognizant of it now.
