i guess i prefer the panche baja too. but they are all musicians. since you are a damini, you must know some of them pretty well too, right? just kidding... anyway, your talk can be interesting if you include a lot of examples. i have one more for you: when japanese folks go out to eat at restaurants, at the end of their meals, they signal the waiter for the check by making a T sign with their two hands. in america, making a T sign indicates that you are giving somebody a time out. so you can imagine the pandemonium that would ensue if some japanese tourist came to america and started giving waiters time-out... anyway, you can find some interesting notes on gestures and signs here: - http://www.absoluteastronomy.com/encyclopedia/g/ge/gesture.htm
