I want to apologize to everyone for my lack of posting. Though it is no excuse, I have been very busy.
Halloween was not fun for me. I was studying for a test instead going out with my friends. But such is the life of a student.
The concept of body language is very interesting. Being in a Japanese language class and knowing my Japanese friend's family, I have gotten used to bowing. Do you ever notice, though, that for certain people you bow differently? For example, when I see a sensei who I have not seen in a long time I bow very deeply, usually looking at the ground. But if I see a sensei I am very familiar with, I bow very slightly, not making a big deal about it.
One Japanese body language I enjoy is the motion of cutting the hair on the back of your head to mean 'crazy'. Do you guys know this, or is it only in certain parts of the country? In the U.S., the sign for crazy is using a finger to make a circle around one ear repeatedly.
I hope to be posting much more frequently soon!
Take care, everyone

I'm very happy that you posted!
We bow in many situation, and there are many types.
Yesterday, I learned how to bow in the job interview. I think it is a little difficult.
I don't know the gesture "crazy", so I think it is other area's gesture or old gesture.
