when we are in a certain place, we should follow the customs of the people who live in that place, not our own customs. Because body language varies from culture to culture. Not all members of all cultures behave the same way. We should try to master and respect each other’s culture in order to make good communication.

nor are they comfortable in the same way with
touching or distance between people.
