Body language (non-verbal language)

Maybe I have to go back to VN to learn the body language from quán bia ôm. Is there any suggestion from experience people?
There is a dictionary on the net about body language. Click on this URL.

You know that, body language is different from countries. An action can show one meaning in this country but it is totally different in another one. So be careful, when you use body language in a strange country or with a stranger because it can cause misunderstanding or even the foreignor may feel to be offensed. And of course, it'll have bad influence on your business.
So now why don't we list all various outstanding body language in all countries in the world??? Try to avoid culture shocks as much as we can
Start, pls!!!
To ThanhEDM: ) you can return to Vietnam and ask 7x club members (esp: Lion King) for experience. You can learn a lot Yên tâm, đi một ngày đàng học một sàng khôn, mất tiền học phí để quay về Việt Nam để học, hay lắm đấy.

As far as I know, Mr. ThanhEDM always goes to VN, tons of times already, maybe he didn't go to to a bia ôm yet.

​

milou, yea, i went to VN "tons of times already" but bia ôm is new to me. What is it anyways? Is it a fun thing to do ?
Maybe bad_grl_vn will show me how next time. We go to quán bia ôm and do body language together, right bad_grl_vn? Đi một bước đàng, uống được một sàng bia ôm muh.

Don' t ask me because I has never been in one .

​

I just consult someone what it is: it's a kind of bar that would produced Amerasians before 1975.

​

Umm, a kind of bar that produce Amerasians before 1975 ?
You've got me there milou. I have no idea what do you mean whatsoever. How do you know it's a kind of bar ? A bar of soap? I think you're hiding something from me. Anyways, It proves that you are a bia ôm experience person .

You know that sometimes guesture can have very different meaning in different cultures. For example, in the United States and Canada, it is common to make a circle with your thumb and first finger. It means "OK". In Japan, the same sign means "money". in southern France, it stands for "zero" or "worthless".
But be careful, if you travel to Brazil or Greece, don't use this sign. It has a very bad meaning.
Are there gestures that have different meanings in different countries? Do u know?
To ThanhEDM: ) u're welcome. It doesn't matter. But be careful, đã có đủ tiền để trả học phí chưa???

Mr ThanhEDM is a rich and powerful business man. Don't worry about hin and his tuition.
BTW Mr T, that's a drinking bar, don't pretend you did not go to one. I believe that one of your excursions to a karaoke bar was visiting such a place as a BÔ . This sentence doesn't sound good, but I am out of time .

Hello bad_grl_vn ,
What doesn't matter ? Okay, I have another question for you .If I don't like "bia", can I only do "ôm" ?
The Japanese guesture i$ more meaningful.
Hello Milou,
You have the potential of a good promoter. What do you mean by "BÔ" ? By the way, I have used the drinking fountain but I have yet tried drinking bar.
