The Gestures of korea

   As you can see, gestures is movements that communicate feelings or instruction. One of the most general feelings is greetings. The representitive gesture of Korea is to bow before the respectables. Not only that, but the person who was bowed by someone need to return a bow. I heven't seen foreigners' bow until now. I think most foreigners have special reasons about that. As it is, the actural grstures we use are different from country to country. Nevertheless, we should learn the gestures becasue observance of social custums is a common chracteristic of a civilized society.
