Culture Shocks: Cultural Things That Are Weird In Other Countries

Giving Directions

Pointing to a direction with your lips. We Filipinos do this. Because there’s an old saying that it’s rude to point with your fingers. There’s an actual video from the early 20th century where a Filipina was captured using her lips to point into something/someone. Can’t provide the vid tho.

Pretty sure this is common in a solid few cultures; actually, I remember noticing that detail in that new Encanto animated movie. It was so wholesome.
