　　We may find cultural differences and local manners are different while going abroad. Everything from greeting to eating can be an opportunity to do wrong, and not only embarrass yourself, but offend others.

　　Touching may offend someone in Korea, Thailand, Europe, and in Middle East. Personal space changes in different places. In Mediterranean countries (地中海国家), if you don't touch someone's arm when talking to them or if you don't greet them with kisses or a warm hug, you'll be considered cold.

　　Leonardo da Vinci (达芬奇，April 15, 1452-May 2, 1519) was a talented Italian painter, inventor, writer and musician. He was a great artist who started his art life by drawing eggs.

His most famous paintings are Mona Lisa and The Last Supper. Perhaps there were only fifteen paintings in the world. However, these few works, together with his notebooks, which have drawings, science diagrams (图表), and his thoughts on the nature of painting, affected many artists. "Drawing is natural daughter." he said.
