non verbal comm

In class this week we started talking about non verbal communication. I know when I was in Iraq there were cretin gesters that we were told were offensive to the Iraqis and back in America it was an every day gesture, but I have forgotten what they were. I can remember when I fisrt started going out in San Antonio every time I would talk to somebody they would stand too close to me so I would back up and one day this salsperson keep closing the gap. In the Midwest we like our personal space in the south its a litter closer than Iwas used to. I have ajusted somewhat to this culture but it still makes me alittle umcomfortable at times.
