L'Attitudes Wichita

We had a great L'Attitudes Wichita meeting on October 14th.
We talked about table manners around the World and share stories.

American backyard BBQ's, where we pick food up and eat with our hands? This is SHOCKING, for the first time attendees! Forewarn your foreign-born guests! It is American culture!

And what country eats almost exclusively with their hands and gives you a towel over your shoulder to keep wiping your hands off during your meal? Do some countries expect you to eat from the same plate as others? Drink from the same glass? Do you sit in chairs or on pillows on the floor? You'd better know before you go!

Count to 3 on your fingers and I will tell you where you are from!

Body speaks louder than words!

I recently watched the movie "inglorious Basterds".
I found it interesting that such a small gesture gave away so much information. I will refresh your memory and take you back to chapter 4

Disguised as an SS Hauptsturmführer, Hicox joins forces with the Basterds, as well as German film actress and Allied double agent Bridget von Hammersmark. Their rendezvous at a tavern goes awry when an SS Sturmbannführer realizes that Hicox is not German. The resulting Mexican standoff finally erupts into a bloodbath, leaving everyone in the tavern (including Hicox and the two German-born Basterds, Stiglitz and Wicki) dead except von Hammersmark, who is wounded in the leg.

Do you remember how SS Sturmbannführer realized Hicox is not German?
