Body language

I have been watching the TV program about Japanese. It says one book is now very popular around Roppongi where many foreigner hang out and drink in Tokyo.
The title of the book is "70 Japanese Gestures".

We think we have much less and smaller gestures than American people. So I didn't notice that we HAVE many:) which is very common if you are Japanese. For example, before we eat meal, we always hands put together and make a bow , saying "Itadakimasu"!
