So yes, I see you John and Beave πŸ«‚

What country if you dont mind saying, that's interesting. I love idioms and deconstructing their meanings and looking for their roots. I was just briefly talking to nostr:npub1vdaz78d96t7pjakpfmqqlr4wgq26l6vmkf25782n05qgdgtfmk8s297rjz about this.

South Africa πŸ’œ

Cool right? πŸ’œ

I love it. Eye contact is powerful. It was one of the hardest things for me about living briefly in Japan how direct eyecontact is so so rare and taboo.

It’s similar in other cultures where looking a person in the eye is seen as disrespectful

Ya, I mean I always try to "do as the romans are doing" when I travel but that was a subtle but profound one.
