touching !!
As I mentioned, men have not touch a women who is not with related with him. I don’t use to be touched by foreign women. When I came to the United States, I was nervous when a girl came next to me, or wanted to shake my hand. Back home men can only touch a colse relative women like, his mother, sister, grandma or niece. I didn’t spend a lot of time to explain that for a women want to shake my hand in the United States. All the women that I met accept that since it is a religion issue. It might be a strange thing, but this is the religion that I believe.

I liked reading your post Yaya. The cultural gap between our home countries is very different and I can not imagine the stress it put on you to adapt and help people understand why touching made you nervous and feel uncomfortable.
Thank you appreciate that.
yes I remember when I came here I was really uncomfortable that time, but now I used to be more uncomfortable than the past.
thanks again
