Love the creepy side of Japan? On the surface, all that people hear about Japan is their rich culture, and how weird some of their customs and inventions are. But aside from that, there is a darker side of Japan, including their unsettling urban legends. From different colored toilet paper to a poem that might curse you, this book will show you many of their urban legends are odd and downright creepy. And trust me, they will also show you yet another example of how weird Japan is. Oh, Japan... how I love you so much. The cover art is by an artist named Takato Yamamoto.

They say curiosity killed the cat. But why kill the cat when you can read body language? Is he angry? Is she happy? Is he sad? Is she excited? Is he jealous? While meeting/interacting with people we often come across these questions. We are not sure how the other person is feeling. This gets frustrating when asking them is never an option. So how can we know what the other person is feeling without asking them? The answer is BODY LANGUAGE! We can read their body language and know what's on their mind. This book contains some facts about body language. Reading this may not make you an expert but it surely will give you some clues about people's body language. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ WARNING- Body language is not an exact science. No single body language sign is a reliable indicator. Understanding body language involves the interpretation of several consistent signals to support or indicate a particular conclusion.
