HAND JIVE

I kid you not. This is very important. Though it may sound funny, different hand gestures mean different things in different countries. For instance, a thumb-up sign can mean "OK" or "all right!" in the US, but in Australia, it can mean "up yours," and in ghana, it is "an insult." Get to know some of the different hand signals and keep yourself out of trouble by just being aware.
