| Cultural Insight |
| Eric: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight. |
| Marzena: When you are asking who a certain person is, or just introducing one person to another, remember that it is very rude to point at this person with your finger. If you really need to do so, be sure to use your whole hand with your palm up. Pointing your finger at someone is like accusing that person, while using your whole hand is a more welcoming gesture. |
