apparently eastern and western people have different ways of interpreting facial expressions, with the west focusing more on the whollistic face and the east more on the eyes (but as a result of cultural circumstances rather than genetics)
and apparently it's apparent in emoticons too HAHAAAAAAA
| Emotion | West | East |
|---|---|---|
| 'Happy' | :-) | (^_^) |
| 'Sad' | :-( | (;_;) or (T_T) |
| 'Surprise' | :-o | (o.o) |
interesting... indeed the eyes of the "western emoticons" remain dots and the mouths of the "eastern emoticons" neutral.
now how can i apply this knowledge to real lifeeeeee? : S
