She was telling her friend that miscommunications were always possible, even over something as simple as “yes”and “no”. One her first day in Mirconesia, Lisa thought people were ignoring her requests. The day was hot, and she needed a cold drink. She went into a store and asked “Do you have cold drinks?”The woman there didn’t say anything. Lisa rephrased the question. Still the woman said nothing. At this point, Lisa gave up and left the store. She soon learned that the woman had answered her: she had lifted her eyebrows, which in Micronesia can mean “yes”. Thisreminded her friend Jan of an experience in Bulgaria. Jan had a similar experience. Once she had gone into a restaurant that was famous for its fried fish. “do you have fried fish today?”she asked the waiter. He nodded his head. Jan eagerly waited. The dish never arrived.
