Ah I picked up the crossing arms and making an x thing from my Japanese teacher. When we would do true false activities we did the x for false. Now when I say no to stuff I tend to cross my arms haha. I didn’t even realize I was doing it until someone started staring when I began the movement to do it.

I noticed my Japanese teacher counting the “reverse” way today; the little differences in cultures are so interesting!! Love the articles on Tofugu :)

I love that. Apparently my boyfriends quirky mannerisms are just regular Japanese body language. We’ve also had the discussion about looking people in the eye – he had to learn that after moving to the States.
