What good gestures that your culture has which you can be proud off?

Being a Filipino myself, I'm also very proud our Filipino culture of kissing the hand of our parents and elderly ones. It's a sign of giving respect and honor to them.(",) I also like using the words "po" and "opo" when answering to my parents and other people who are older than me. Filipinos are supposed to be respecful and courteous. Hope these traits will continue to go on for generations. Wish other nationalities would drop by and share something.(",)

I'm an Indian and my culture too has gesture quite same as yours, placing hands on our hesd to wish good luck in life. Another most common gesture seen in India is when the younger ones touch the feet of elders to greet and show respect. I too like japanese way of paying respect and greeting and i too would like to know how people from other parts of the world gesture.

We have no such gestures here in Ireland. However, I introduced my own gestures, or good manners if you like. Whenever somebody comes in to my home I insist that we stand and offer a seat to our guest and I also switch off the radio or the tv if it is on.

We have the same culture my friend ...but,sometimes we dont make "Mano"we kiss and hug eps. now adays it becomes like the new trend....and also before u leave we do the same as well..

In america, good gestures are very slight and small. We have no set system of manners or anything. But, there are very small things which actually can come across as very polite, and kind. But we have an equality amoung our members so that you can do the same act for a peer, an elder, a women or a man, or even a child. One example is simply holding a door open for someone. While it doesn't seem huge, you come across as quite rude when you let the door slip shut when someone's coming in behind you. It doesn't matter if it's a guy, girl, elder or child behind you, either. I live in the country, and in our small town it's a common polite gesture to either wave or give a polite nod to everyone you see. Even if you don't know them. It makes everyone feel more welcome. We don't have many polite things that we do. But it's not so bad. To show someone a truly polite gesture, all you need to do is be kind to them. If they drop something, pick it up for them. If they fall, help them up. Just be kind to mankind. That's our only real 'gesture' in America.
