People raised in such cultures might not rely on expressions in the eyes for social and or emotional cues. ________________________________ From: khazana108 <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, October 11, 2012 6:39 PM Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: Hi, I'm back --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Emily Reyn <emilymae.reyn@...> wrote: > > <snip> And I'm not taking the test either, I understand only half of the > words.
