The body language

It is also a new experience that i got during this GSE trip.

It was happened when i was stay in Tournai, a South area of Belgium. My host parent is a single, and he has a big antique furniture workshop in the back side of his house. One of the best handmade antique furniture in Tournai. But, he only speak French. And i know only English.

It was a lilte bit funny when we were at home and want to have some conversation. He tried to explain something to me (with French) and i tried to understand what was the meaning. And i spoke very slowly in english and sometime i used some caracter ekspresion. And i think he understood with that, but again, he replied with French.

So during those 2 days, we spoke each others with our body. He put his hand closed to his mouth, then i understood it was a time to take a breakfast. And i put my to palm near on my head, and he understood that i was sleepy, and need to go to bed.

But in the other case, we understand each other about beer. He show me his glass and his thumb, he surely want to say 'this is a good beer' and he gave me a glass of beer and we were laughing together...

Altought it looks seem dificult, but for me, i was very much enjoy the time with him. He is a really really very nice person. His name is Benoit, president of Rotary Club in Tournai. Believe it or not, 3 of his brother are an architect. And also his father. The famous one in Tournai with many projects in Belgium and abroad. One of them took me to visit their new hospital project in Tournai.

Now, i know some basic languge in French. like bonjour for good morning, bon apetite for enjoy your meal, and merci beaucoup for thankyou very much.

And also tu me manques.
