   2. (Optional) Your age and what do you do by occupation? 16, student/service assistant (aka Checkout chick :lol:)
   3. Where are you from (country and where in the country) ? Victoria(south east), Australia
   4. What is/are your native language(s)?English

   5. When you are talking, how far away do you usually stand (or sit) from people? Please give your answers for

         1. family members One metre
         2. intimate friends 1/2 metre
         3. normal acquaintances One metre
         4. strangers One metre
      respectively.
   6. When you are talking, do you (consciously) touch the people you are talking to? If yes, how frequently? Please give your answers for

         1. family members No
         2. intimate friends Sometimes, depends what we are talking about
         3. normal acquaintances No
         4. strangers No

   7. Continued: If people touch more frequently (than the answer you gave in the last question), how do you feel? uncomfortable or flattered, depending on who it is

   8. In your culture, do people usually look at others when in an elevator?No
   9. In your culture, do people try hard not to touch others when in an moderately-to-much-crowded elevator? Yes

  10. Do you look people in the eyes when you are talking to them? Note your answer may vary depending on whom you are talking to; please give your answer as detailedly as possible. Always, when i start talking or they begin talking its more polite because you are showing you are insterested in the conversation and their response, however if you seem to be staring then that can get a bit uncomforatble

  13. Give your ideas about the special meanings (if any) of the following hand/body gestures and facial expressions in your culture:

         1. The OK sign: forefinger and the tumb joining a circle Well Done
         2. Crossing your fingers Good Luck
         3. Shurgging your shoulders I've got no idea how to respond to what you just said
         4. Winking Could mean that you've done something cheeky, or you have just made a joke, could also mean a number of other things, depending on the setting in which it's done
