Hello everyone.
This week, I want to talk about gesture in Taiwan.
================================================
This summer, I met an American.
As we waited the bus, I was trying to taught her a simple game to kill time.
However, when I said 4 and 7, and guestured like these:


Seeing her confused,but I didn't know why she felt confusing.
She told me that they did't represent 4 and 7 like these.
I did know that some other countries have different guesture for the number, however, I used to think that we are the same to U.S. .
Now, let me show you how most Taiwanese guesture for the number.

Are these different from your country?
Someone may say that the "six" is like "phone" .
In Taiwan, it also means the "phone", however, there is a little different betwen these two.

                                     six        &       phone

==================================================

Another guesture I want to share with you is ...


Here, it doesn't mean "2" anymore.
If you don't know what to do when taking the photo, you can try to do this guesture.
    # My friend.                                            # When I was a little girl.
   #Friends and teacher.

When taking a photo, people in Taiwan are used to guesturing like this.
We say " ya~" when doing this.
I heard a lot of Asians said "If you see someone guesture like this, he/she must come from Taiwan."
Nevertheless, many people who live in Asia doing this guesture now.
To sum up, using this guesture in the picture may origined from Taiwan.
When I show some pictures to  my foreign friends, they said what they can image about this guesture is "peace".
====================================================
There are lots of photo this time!

See you next week!
bye bye.
