Keep Your Hands Really Still!

Editor’s Note: Today’s post is from Dick Locke, Sourcing Innovation’s resident expert on International Sourcing and Procurement. (His previous guest posts are still archived.)

I’ve got incredible respect for bloggers that post daily. I’m trying for a bi-weekly schedule and trying to keep the posts newsworthy. Not much happened in the last two weeks except for the possibility that the new US energy bill might include new trade barriers. I’ll need some time to get my head around that one. Right now all I know is pollution bad, free trade good.

So let’s go with a lighter note. And a test. Here are three pictures of hand gestures to avoid when traveling internationally.

Can you name some countries where these gestures would be considered rude, crude, or obscene?
