I am French and everyone knows that this sign means that everything is ok. We almost never use this sign to say zero. And the reason why our " baguettes " are the best is because there is some salt ( unlike an Italian baguette that I ate during a trip in Italy )
I know a friend who was unknowingly kissed in the lips by an american when she pointed something with her lips 😂 that's just how we point at things or places or people here in the Philippines because pointing with your finger is considered rude
That's why there are so many different countries, regions and cultures, and all are already set in who they are. That's the world and planet. We are similar that we are human beings, but still, we are not all the same.
In Russia, you should also take your gloves off before shaking even if you're in Siberia in the middle of winter, and don't shake across other people shaking hands regardless of the temperature.
Actually, in a lot if not all of Native American cultures, if you touch our hair without permission it is a grave insult. I am Oglala Lakota and Blackfoot myself. For example, I was once spending time with my family. I had my braids in and my non-Native husband grabbed my braids suddenly without any consent and I immediately pulled away. Growing up being taught to never touch hair without consent and other rules and etiquette, it shocked me! When I pulled away and instantly began scolding him and my family was STUNNED. He himself was shocked and we both explained our cultures. It was a massive misunderstanding that almost led to him sleeping on the couch!
Winston Churchill famously gave the V sign to photographers. He was trying to give the V for victory sign but instead had his hand facing the wrong side.
At the part of Finland you got things wrong. The face you make is the thing you mean. Getting hands crossed can mean that you are listening, you are interested, you are focused, you are disappointed or you are thinking etc. If you ever come to finland just remember if you keep your hands crossed you should know the face gestures for them. We finnish people are not so social so we use alot gestures instead

I learned a lot about gestures that would be helpful in my future if I ever decide to travel to another country such as Africa, China, India, etc........
There’s a lot of hand gestures that celebrities make and ppl take on not knowing why but if one tells them. They either don’t believe it or just don’t care. A lot of Ppl do things to just belong.
