Expressing emotions across the world.
Quite a few years ago, I took my first trip to Thailand to visit my boyfriend's family, I emerged from the airport to be greeted by a wall of heat unlike anything my pale English skin had ever experienced before, but that wasn't the only shock in store for me, After 20 minutes or so in the sweltering sun I started to complain: the flight had been exhausting, my feet were aching and so on, Quite suddenly, my boyfriend stopped me, 'It is not acceptable to show your emotions like that,' he whispered, 'You should try to smile,' I thought he was joking at first, but I soon realised he wasn't. In Thailand, the 'land of smiles', people go out of their way to put on a happy face for reasons I hadn't yet appreciated.

Ever since that trip, I've been trying to learn all I can about how people express emotions in different cultures and how those cultures shape what we feel. What I'd failed to grasp all those years ago is that negativity tends to be taboo in Thailand, The happiness of the group is put above that of the individual and one person's feelings are seen as closely linked to those of others, For that reason , my public whinging and whining was potentially offensive.
