shaking heads...

Ducks
By Ducks

Just wondering if this is the same in Qatar...in Sri Lanka, if people say yes, they turn their heads from left to right...for Europeans, this means no!

 

How is Qatar and the Arabic world handling this?

I don't read the Indian head movement as "yes" but more of  a confirmation that things are ok.

 

E.G.; 

 

When I suggest a possible problem to one of my Indian clients they will "do the head thing" to stop me continuing about the problem, because it is alright.

 

Am I right here?

dont worry you will be understood, if you come across a problem i guess you can verbalise the word "yes" to be clear..

From my understanding i think its only Sri Lankans and indians that shake the head left to right to assume a yes...The dry cleaner i use is Indian and when he does this i assume a yes...

Ducks trust me when you are in Qatar this will be the least of your concern....

If I shake my head while in Qatar, would somebody think this means yes or no?
