RE: Smile Challenge and Curly Girl Hair Review - Thumbs Up Thursday by A Panama Mama
You have a very lovely smile and some luscious locks. I hope this #smilechallenge turns into the norm and not just a challenge. One of the best things you can do for a stranger is give them an authentic smile. You never know what that person is going through and the power of a smile can be so beneficial
Thanks! Yes, smiling is good fun. In Panama, it's not very common. They can tell who the Americans are because we smile (and we look American, duh). But when I smile at the Panamanians (who never smile first), they usually smile back...and often come over to talk to us. I guess it breaks the cultural ice.
Haha sometimes it could be that the locals are just intimidated by the foreigners. It's the same thing here in South Korea, if I don't initiate the smile, it almost never happens, but once I do, people are very friendly
