After I met them and then introduced them to each other, I was very surprised. Tony approached Julia, touched her shoulder and kissed her on her cheek! She stepped back appeari ng surprised and put up her han ds, as if in defe nee. I fuessed that there was probably a major misun dersta nding.

In America wh pretty girl they raise their eyebrows. An Italia n man presses his fin ger into his cheek and twists it back and forth. In Greece, the men stroke their cheeks and French men kiss their fin gertips. And Arabs grasp their beards.In America we consider the “ thumbs up ” gesture as a sign of success, but in Australia it is considered aAnd yet, if you ' re a female visiting Australia, you may be surprised to see iwink ” at you, but in Australia it ' s merefrien dly gesture.Using our hands to express us is a good way, but using the wrong hand gesture can also be embarrass ing.
