the Big Difference

Our group is going to talk about two topics, which is about differences between cultures and natural-disaster in Japan. First, I’m going to talk about differences between gestures. We use various gestures everyday and some of them have a big difference.
Now I’m going to introduce two examples. First, which gesture do you use when you speak about yourself? I think most of you point at your nose with your forefinger. Non-Japanese would be surprised to see that, because they point at their chest with their thumb instead.
Second I think all of you already know it is thought to be bad to put a middle finger. Surprisingly turning a V-sign has the same meaning as putting a middle finger. It has the same meaning as offending a person in front of you.
