Throwback Thursday

-
My niece is getting married tomorrow. She was my oldest daughter's best friend. It is a time of bitter sweetness for me. My niece is beautiful, and marrying a great man. However it makes me miss Heather terribly. I think of what she would be like, it seems like yesterday and also forever since I last saw these girls together. 15 years has flown by but also dragged on forever.

So in celebration of my niece's wedding and in memory of Heather, I dedicate this post to them.

Differences in Manners

Have you ever traveled to another country and been surprised by what is or isn't polite. One thing that has surprised me is language. There are a few words in the UK that are considered not polite that are common in the US and the other way around. I remember when my family had just come back from the US to live in England again. My sister said something and an older lady was offended and went to tell my mom. My mom then obviously sat us down and had a conversation about how different things are acceptable in different countries. Obviously, my sister didn't use that word again...and I'm not even going to tell you what it was ☺ The article  13 examples of Good and Bad manners around the world  lists some examples that you may not have heard of; Is belching (burping) always considered rude? Could it be considered rude to shake someone's hand? What about making the peace sign...or the same sign the opposite way round? Check out the article to find the answers to those ques...
