Cultural Diversity

Over this last week and a bit I have learnt that while the thumbs up in Autralia means good work it actually means the same as the middle finger in Iraq and Iran. Another example is the "okay" sign, here it means ok while in Venezuela and Turkey it means homosexual. So if you are ever in a different country or even hanging around people from a different culture please be aware of what body language means around those people.

Over the next couple of weeks I would like to learn about what other cultures do in terms of entertainment and traditions. What kind of dances they do (if any), do they do specific things to ward off evil? I don't know.That is what I want to learn about over the couple of weeks.
