What does a thumbs up mean in different countries?

In China, thumbs up often means complimenting the other party, but in the United Kingdom, Australia, the United States, South Africa, Singapore and New Zealand, this gesture contains different meanings: first, it is intended to inform the driver that he wants a ride car; secondly, it means "ok, not bad, no problem"; finally, the sudden thumbs up is also somewhat insulting, meaning "raise your hands" or "just leave it at that". But in Greece, a thumbs-up gesture means provocation. It usually means that the other person is "eating too much to support himself", that is, he is looking for trouble and is humiliating himself.

Therefore, never give a thumbs up in different countries. For example, when we travel to Greece, if we give a thumbs up on the highway to hitchhike, no driver will invite us to get in the car even if we stand there for a whole day, because no one will let a provocateur sit. Be by your side. It can be seen that the safest way for people who often travel or work abroad is to ask the locals for knowledge about various gestures wherever they go, so as to avoid embarrassing scenes.
