                         Different Customs and Cultures
     If an American is satisfied with you, he will put his thumb and forefinger into a
circle. That means OK. But in Brazil, the very sign is considered to be rude. In
Poland, a guest usually presents flowers to his hostess. The number must be an odd (奇數(shù)) one. Besides, the hostess isn't  expected to remove the cover of the bunch of
flowers. And usually, red rose is a sign of love.
     Usually we nod to express our agreement and shake our heads to show
disapproval. To our surprise these body movements mean the opposite in Bulgaria(保加利亞).
     The differences in customs and cultures in the world are really noticeable. We
should learn more about them to avoid embarrassment(窘迫). Then, would you
please remember: When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
