When you visit Taiwan,Green Island is a wonderful place not to be missed.
Green Island,with clear blue water around it,is an island in the Pacific Ocean,33 kilometers east of Taitung. The old name for Green Island was Huoshandao,meaning “fireburning island”. The island got its name because people on the island used to set up fires at night to help people who went fishing home. Another story goes that in the Qing Dynasty there was a fire and most of the island’s trees and grass died. The coastline(海岸) of the island is only 20 kilometers long,the tallest mountain is only 281 meters high and the island is only 15 km2,but it is attracting(吸引) a growing number of tourists.

For example,in the U.S.A.people point to their heads when they think someone is clever.However,in Europe it means“He or she is stupid or something is wrong with his or her head.”
In our Chinese culture,nodding our head up and down means“yes”and shaking our head from side to side means“no”.However,in parts of India,Greece and Turkey,it means just the opposite.
In England or the U.S.A.,when you raise your hand and make a circle with the thumb(拇指)and the second finger,it means“You’re all right or everything is OK.”However,if we do this in France or Belgium,it means“You’re worth zero.”In Greece or Turkey,we should not make this gesture,or we will be thought to be very rude.
The meaning of gestures can also change over time.In the 1960s,the V sign meant“peace”.However,during World War Ⅱ,it meant“victory”.In Greece,it is a very insulting (污辱性)sign.
Though the meaning of body language is different, there are some expressions having the same meaning all over the world, such as smiling and crying.
