- There is little to no personal space, even with friends or business colleagues and definitely not with family. Much less than an arms length is common.
- The only time it is more "acceptable" to have personal space is when you are ill, otherwise if you back away from people it is assumed you are not comfortable with them and/or you don't like them.
- It is common for women to touch arms, shoulders, elbows, etc., when talking with other women and same for conversations between men and men. There is not as much touching during conversations between genders.
- For conversations between family members (including those of opposite sex), it is common for there to be a lot of touching, depending on nature of the conversation.
