Carolyn,

Be careful where you use that thumbs up! In the Middle East it means

about the same as the " O " with thumb and forefinger. It's considered

very rude.

" My friend who was fluent in Spanish told us that it was sort of a dirty

signal and like an invitation and guys would actually giggle if someone

did that and didn't know. So we had to stop doing that and it is so

hard to change a habit. So we tried to put up a thumb as a new sign

of OK. "
