Sam
Well, I don’t know – but it does change from one country to another, I’ve lived in different countries and really noticed the difference.
Phil
Well, I used to live in Argentina and people definitely get close to you there.

News
We are said to be very touchy-feely and I think that that shows in all our daily interactions. Foreigners are definitely uncomfortable, some at least, for example we do a lot of kissing and it goes to the extent that, for example, if you go into the surgery to see your GP or doctor that you are familiar with, and that knows you, you would probably reach out and kiss him or her, and that’s completely normal.
Kee
λ€ μ΄κ±΄ μ΄λ»κ² μκ°νμΈμ? μλ₯΄ν¨ν°λμμ κ·Έλ¬μ΄μ?

Yes, absolutely, people are very touchy-feely – lots of hugging and people always kiss when they meet.

Sam
OK, so how did you deal with it being so ‘touchy-feely’ – I’m not sure that you’re that kind of person really Phil.
Kee
Yes, you don’t seem the touchy feely type
Phil
Guys, I’m not, I’m really not – every day was like an invasion of my personal space!
Kee
Invasion of someone’s personal space λΌλ λ»μ λ€λ₯Έ μ¬λμ κ°μΈκ³΅κ°μ invade μΉ¨ν΄νλ€ λΌλ λ»μ
λλ€ – that sounds like quite a violent expression, doesn’t it?
Sam
Isn’t it just friendly though? It’s not invading personal space to hug someone you’ve just met, is it? Otherwise people will think that you are too ‘reserved’, especially if you are somewhere where people are more touchy-feely
Kee
Reserved λ λ΄μ±μ μ΄λΌλ λ» μ
λλ€. But maybe Phil is just quite reserved.
Phil
I’m English. Of course I’m reserved. It’s what we do…
Sam
Ok, but it’s not just about what you are like… Obviously we are all different and we do things in different ways…. But maybe we need to be able to adapt to other people.
Phil
What do you mean?
Sam
Well, I think you’ve just got to be ‘tolerant’ of other people.
Kee
Yes, I think being tolerant, or ‘κ΄λν¨’ is really important, especially if you go to live in a different country.
Sam
Yes – living in different countries can really show you how important it is to be tolerant… like being tolerant of the way people treat personal space, for example.
Kee
Which means I should give you the answer for our quiz – λ€, κ°μΈκ³΅κ°μ λν μ¬λλ€λ§λ€μ λ€λ₯Έ νλλ₯Ό 보μ¬μ£Όλ κ²μ΄μλλ°μ, μΈλ, νκ΅ κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ μΌλ μ€, μ΄λ λλΌ μ¬λμ΄ λ―μ μ¬λκ³Ό λ§λ¬μ λ 거리λ₯Ό λ§μ΄ λλκ° μμ΅λλ€. λ΅μ λ―μ μ¬λκ³Ό νκ· 110cmμ 거리λ₯Ό λλ€λ μΌλμμ΅λλ€.

Maybe I’ll try Kenya for my next trip…
Sam
Well, according to that study, all three countries give you more personal space than England – so they’re perfect for someone who is reserved!
