Photo of the day: asian culture
Tags: Asia, Asian cultureBy
In Asia all the people behave like aristocrats. They have manner, are very polite and smile. It is a pleasure, it is fascinating to travel there.
This picture of hands asking for attention and giving thanks is common all over Asia, I would say is a symbol of Asian culture.
If an asian salutes you with this greeting(which they usually do) is a sign of honour and you must answer in the same way.

Hi
I am a Sri Lankan and we use the same symbol to pay our gratitude.Its like handshaking in western countries. Eventhough nowadays most people use hand shaking as a influence of British. and we sinhalese say “Ayubowan” with this which mean “May you live longer life”.
