Random Thoughts From The Beijing Blogger

COMMUNICATION 101: Universal Language Even though the language barrier can be highly frustrating, there are certain things that seem to work no matter where I go. Somethings just work everywhere you go. 1. A Smile- everybody knows that the smile is a positive thing. It's contagious and accepted everywhere (unlike this credit card that shall remain nameless). 2. The Ice Grill (mean mug or frown)- People know when you are upset, when you are. 3. The Head Nod (up/down, left/right, and the nod) 4. "NO": seems to work everywhere I go! 5. Texture or tone in your voice 6. A smack to the face- that'll wake em up! *Can you think of anymore?
