It has been said that the Internet has made the world a smaller place since it has allowed people to connect in a way that they’ve never done before. However, no matter how connected we may seem to be via technology, nothing can ever take the place of direct human contact.
How else will you learn about the nuances of a culture without actually spending time with someone from that culture? The experience of hearing an accent or seeing body language would just not be the same. That brings us to this week’s trivia. Take for example, hand gestures.
In the United States (and several other countries), the hand symbol above means “OK”. But in other countries, this symbol also means:
(a) money
(b) zero
(c) an obscene body part
Good luck readers!
