Today, I studied body langueges in the class, and I learned many interesting gestures.
For example, "patting hair" means vanity in America, but in Japan it is no meaning, and many Japanese women including me often pat hair, so I was very surprised and shocked!!
"Crossing index and middle fingers of both hands and putting them behind back" means lying in America. I didn't know this gesture! I think this is very funny!! In Japan, we don't use this gesture and we don't have a gesture that means lying. If I have a chance I want to use it. In America, do people often use this gesture??? Please tell me!
These days, it become cold little by little. Last week, I had a cold(:-;) Please be careful not to catch a cold!!
See you☆

I don't think anyone really uses the "lying" gesture. I have never seen anyone in real life use it, and the only time I saw it used in a movie was an old movie called "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory." I think many Americans still know about the "lying" gesture, though they don't expect anyone to use it. If you are lying, usually you would not want to give a sign that you are lying.
