An omission would be the Chinese -- I think we are one the most repressed. Close friends never hug and conversations are always awkward in first encounters. Love is often expressed in terms of gifts and 'formal' attempts at the opposite sex, boys often chasing girls; formal in the sense that flirting doesn't happen often, instead, you 'be nice' to the girl...
- Vivtek 16y agoThat whole close friends hugging thing among Americans must be regional. In Indiana, I think we've only started doing it lately because other people seem to do it. Or something. It's always embarrassing. Among men, anyway. Women have different rules.
- Toucan 16y agoThis surprises me. When I was in China 10 years ago, I certainly noticed (as a Brit) how normal it was to see people walking down the street hand in hand. It didn't seem to matter if they were two guys, girls or, err, any other combination. I wonder if things have changed or if it was a regional difference. I was in Shenyang at the time.
- kenkam 16y agoYes, I agree here. The couples love to hold hands etc... What I meant before was when the boy was still chasing the girl...! Apologies for the confusion :P.
- grimlck 16y agoI agree. As a chinese guy, i've never even hugged my parents.
- mahmud 16y agoFix that NOW. Don't waste anytime showing your parents love.
