Today I had to take my Dad to the airport because he's going to Shanghai for two weeks to hang out with his Dad. Now, my family, particularly my Dad has never been prone to be touchy-feely. I suppose that has rubbed off on me big time. So when it came time to say goodbye, my Dad reached over and awkwardly patted me on my shoulder. Simultaneously, I reached over and awkwardly patted him on his back. So there the two of us stood, exchanging pats in this stilted ritual.
So in general, I am a pretty hands off person I'd say. From my body language, I think people can usually discern this large neon sign flashing, "Step away from the body, stay 15 feet away." But I do admit I'm much more relaxed with females. So again, this must be my repressed American/Christian/Chinese upbringing coming into play.

Me neither!!!
Oh he doesn't. He bought a house there but he lives in Taiwan. So I guess he goes there sometimes just to chill.
