..for foreign domestic workers:

In Lebanon, people may sometimes speak with a loud voice but this does not always mean that they are angry with you or don’t like you. They just communicate in a different way from what you may be used to.

In Ethiopia, people may kill themselves, but that does not always mean that they are unhappy with their lives.. (H/T Najib)
