111 Bi-weekly Report #4

In order to get familiar with hand gestures, we went through the acceptable and unacceptable gestures from Korea as well as the US. Hand gestures that are acceptable in the US might be considered very offensive and rude in Korea. Gestures like "come here" with the palm facing up should not be used in Korea at all, while it is completely fine in the US. In Korea, people would gesture it with the palm facing down. This is helpful to know before possibly traveling to South Korea.
