This is a very interesting read because it makes us reflect on how the gestures we use with our hands can have very different meanings in other cultures. We often assume that certain gestures are universal, but in reality, they can cause misunderstandings or even offend others if we don't know their cultural context. This text teaches us the importance of being aware of and respectful of cultural differences, especially when traveling or interacting with people from other countries.
