There is something I've noticed in all my travels around the world. Hand gestures may mean something different from one place to another. What is innocent in one place may be rude in another. But a smile...a smile is universally understood as a friendly expression between people.
Smile at someone, and you often receive a smile back. It is positive non-verbal communication, which is necessary when one does not speak the language well.
Just a reminder, that as humans we share a lot of commonalities regardless of the color of our skin, language we speak, or geographic region we are from. Also, there are simple ways to show kindness. I'd encourage you to share a smile with someone today.
