Body language is a very useful when traveling abroad,

but it can lead also to misunderstandings. Southern

Indian shake their heads from side to side to mean

'yes'. The Chinese gesture for 'come here' looks to

many European rather like 'go away'. In both

Amsterdam and Jakarta men often seen holding hands,

but the Dutches and Indonesians interpret this quite

Different. At least a smile ought to be ambiguous.

Yet Westerners are often surprised and even shocking

to see Japanese people smiling at funeral.
