Futuroscope – excitement and learning Last week I took a journey deep into space, to the end of the solar system, and was pulled into a black hole. Then I took a trp to Brazil and experinced surviving an airplane crash in the jungle. After that, I joined some divers and went to the bottom of the ocean to see strange blind creatures that hace seen sunlight. For a break, I took part in some car racing and then skied down some of the most difficult mountains in the world. I ended my travels by meeting face to face with a dinosaur, the terrible TRex, and survived the experience! I did allthis in one great day at Futuroscope. Opened in 1987, Futuroscope is one of the largest spaceage parks in the world. This science and technologybased theme park in France uses the most advanced technology. Its 3D cinemas and giant movie screens provide brand new experiences of the earth and the beyond. Visitors can get clost to parts of the world they have never experienced, going to the bottom of the ocean, flying through the jungle or visiting the edges of the solar system. The amazing, uptodate information together with many opportunities for handson learning makes the world e to life in a pletely new way for visitors. Learning centres throughout the park let visitors try their own scientific experiments, as well as learn more about space travel, the undersea world and much more. I bought time tickets for myself and my friends at the park’s entrance, but tickets are also available online. Futuroscope is not only for individuals, but is also the perfect mix of fun and learning for calss outings. Classes or other large groups that let Futuroscope know their plans in advance can get the group admission. For anyone ing from out of town, Futuroscope has many excellent hotels nearby, most of which provide a shuttle service to the park. If driving, Futuroscope is within easy reach of freeway. Plan your trip well before starting, since Futuroscope ihas so many shows, activities and great souvenir shops that it is difficult to see them all. Come ready to walk a lot – be sure to wear some fortable sneakers or other walking shoes. The Polynesian Cultural Center Somemore powerful than spoken language. People around the world show all knds of feelings, wishes and attitudes that they might never speak aloud. It is possible to “read” others around us, even if they do not intend for us to catch their unspoken munication. Of course, body language can be misread, but many gestures and actions are universal. The most universal facial expression is, of course, the smile – it’s function is to show happiness and to people at ease. It does not always means that we are truly happy, however. Smiles around the world can be false, hiding other feelings like anger, fear or worry. There are unhappy smiles, such as when someone “l(fā)oses face” and smiles to hide it. However, the general purpose of smiling is to show good feelings. From the time we are babie, we show unhappiness or anger by frowning. In most places around the world, frowning and turning one’s back to someone show anger. Making a fist and shaking it alomost means that someone is angry and threatening another person. There are many ways around the world to show agreement, but nodding the head up and down s for agreement almost worldwide. Most people also understand that shaking the head from side to side means disagreement or refusal. How about showing that I am bored? Looking away from people or yawning will, in most cases, make me appear to be uninterested. However, if I turn toward and look at someone or something, people from almost every culture will think that I am interested. If I roll my eyes and turn my head away, I most likely do not believe what I am hearing or do not like it.

In almost every culture, it is not usually good to stand too close to someone of a higher rank. Standing at a little distance with open hands will show that I am willing to listen. With so many cultural differences between people, it is great to have some similarities in body language. We can ofen be wrong about each other, so it is an amazing thing that we understand each others as well as we do! THE OPEN HANDA UNICERSAL SIGN When meeting people at the airport, most people smile and shake hands with people they meet. We know that smile is usually a sign that people feel friendly and happy, but what if we don’t know who the new person is? What if we are not introduced by a friend? What if we are meeting a stranger in a unfamiliar place? Sometimes people are dangerous and humans have to find ways to protect themselves. We have to make sure we can trust people we don’t know, and we have to show that we are not dangerous. Showing our hands means that we are not armed. In many cultures today, the Western custom of shaking hands is used. We use our right hand, which is usually strong than the left one. If we are using our hand this way, in cannot be holding a knife or a gun. It shows that we trust the other person, and that the other person can trust us. Not all cultures use the handshake, and people in many Asian cultures do not always touch another person. The traditional greeting in China was to cover the left hand with the right and bow. Japanese people might cover one hand with other and, depending on whom they are greeting, bow slightly or quite low. In India , Hindu people join their hands in front of their faces and bow their heads. A Muslim will touc
