Here’s a very common sight in China, at least in Shenzhen: Friends, mostly girls, walking arm-in-arm. You see this every now and then in South America, but it’s quite common here. I think it’s pretty cool – it shows a close connection between friends. Most connections are arm-in-arm, but you often see girls holding hands too. What’s really different is that every once in a while you’ll see *guys* holding hands, can you believe how this would be perceived in the US? But, as a colleague of mine said, “…and no one will think they are gay.”
