I never liked math, but come on, even I will count from 1 to 10! Or this I believed, until we arrived in China.

My name is Einstein, Lety Einstein!

I didn't mean the spoken numbers: as a good Italian I knew that by gestures they would understand me. But no: in China even having your hands is different!

Rober knows how to count to two

Me up to 5 ... with a Chinese stalker behind

The first times we asked for prices, people answered us with strange gestures and we with a silly face began to enter the magical world of Chinese numerical gestures ... that, if you have not yet caught it, they are different. Well, until 5 there are no differences, but from 6 to 10 ... What a surprise!

How strange are those Chinese ... and we love them!
