■Gesture
presenting your hand, fingers extended palm facing outward are considered to be a very rude and insulting gesture to show disapproval. So, the taxi will never stop if you keep doing it! It is commonly used by drivers when they get upset. Beware if you want to show number five with the hand, you should always do it inwards (with the palm of your hand towards your face). If the gesture is done outwards, it can be misconstrued for a moutza. And also Peace sine too.
