One thing that makes humans different from other animals is our ability to develop customs and traditions. In fact, humans love doing this so much that thousands of different cultures have developed around the world. Here are two surprising customs.
Nicaragua (尼加拉瓜) is a country in Central America. People there feel that pointing with the finger is impolite. So, it's common to point with the lips instead. The locals can move their lips forward or from side to side to show what they want to point out. People often use this gesture(姿势)in conversation to draw attention to something.
The ways of greeting are different in different cultures around the world. Latin American culture and Roman culture share the similar custom of kissing on the cheek. Yet, the French seem to take this custom one step further. In fact, they have their own rules about how many kisses to give. Firstly, the rules are different for men and women. Secondly, the number of greeting kisses changes from place to place. What's more, French people are expected to greet each person at a party whether they know the person or not.
