Trivia Question #2

TRIVIA  Question #2  If you would like to present gifts to the various people you will encounter, a small token from your hometown or state is appropriate. Nice gift-wrapping shows that you have put extra effort into presenting it. But don't wrap anything in your carry-on luggage, just bring some wrapping paper to use after we get there.  Gifts will be opened when received. So if you receive a gift, you should open it right away; waiting to open it will be considered rude.
Question #2
What hand gestures might be considered rude or inappropiate that are not considered rude in the USA?
Bonus:  How do you use a knife and fork when eating in South Africa?

Hint: answers might be found OnBoard site....

Boerewors, a traditional South African sausage made of spicy beef, pork or lamb, grilled over charcoal at braais (open air barbecues) is in fact a legacy of the German settlers.

Animals of Africa

What does the "Big 5" refer to? Well, the term "big five" was actually coined by big game hunters (not safari tour operators). It refers to the difficulty in bagging these large animals, mostly due to their ferocity when cornered and shot at. Can you name them?
