Body language is around us.In China, a smile and shaking hands show welcome.Waving one’s hand is to say “goodbye”.Nodding the head means “ yes”,but it is different in some other countries.For example, nodding the head in some Asian countries doesn’t mean “yes”, but “no”.In France and some South American countries, men kiss each other when they meet.

It’s important to know the meanings of the body language in foreign countries.
