Photographer's Note
Language of the gestures is one of the most interesting international languages. An open palm is a common symbol of salutation.
This is the photo of roads on Palawan island, near El Nido town. As you see the local standards of safety have wide limits.

Hello, Serghei!
They look quite happy being photographed by you, and the strong color of the truck makes the image very attractive! Very nice daily life scene captured! Beautiful job!

Bonjour Serghei,
Il faut vraiment se rendre dans cette partie du monde pour voir des scènes semblables. Ici, il faut scrupuleusement attacher nos enfants tandis que là ils prennent l'air sur le toit des camions. Bien saisit.
Amicalement

Bonjour Serghei,
The language of gestures is international but you have to be prudent for there are sometime differences. The gesture if the driver with his fingers wide should in the Netherlands be interpreted as STOP. With the fingers closed it is a solution.
Lovely scene with to two boys at the top of the truck
Have a nice weekend.
Groet Rob

Hello Serghei,
Actually sign language is not the same everywhere. A gesture that is seen as friendly and polite in one part of the world can be extremely rude and offensive in another culture. It's important to be careful ;-).
We see from the smiles that these open palms are intended as friendly greetings. Regardless of that this is a bright and amazing photo, definitely telling us something about this part of the world. Traveling like that doesn't look entirely safe, but it is part of life in many countries. It's a fine and well timed photo.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hi Serghei
Those drivers seem very happy too. This is almost as if they photobombed your picture. The color of the little truck is very cool too. There is an entire language of the driver everywhere, unlike many, this is a pleasant happy gesture
Best wishes

Hello Serghei,
I believe it's important to make the same gestures as the locals do. Otherwise your intentions may be misunderstood.
I think the driver wanted to take you with him for a ride.
Do many foreigners visit Palawan? It could be that he was very surprised to see you there.
The abundant vegetation makes this a beautiful road trip.
Best regards, Paul

Hekllo Serghei, The Asian transportation is always fascinating for me. How can they ride like this?? When the car brakes suddenly, they will be on the street. And we must use the seatbelts in closed car... They all look very happy and friendly. fine capture. I am very curious about your last trip. I hope to see many pictures. maybe an inspiration for me? Who knows..

Hi Serghei
looks like you have captured the attention of the locals here.
and you're right, the wave is a gesture i think almost all of us can understand.
I gotta say though, i wouldn't want to be one of the two men up top of the truck...yikes!
very cultural, you captured the scene its in truest form, very real and authentic.
cheers

Hello, Serghei!
You have to be careful of hand gestures in different countries. Some innocent gestures in western countries are considered obscene in other cultures. The double red and blue warm cold color contrast of the boys atop the red and blue truck works well here. Tfs!

Olá Serghei,
sensacional essa captura, e realmente é um sinal universal esse. A captura é bem cômica também. Belo trabalho.
Parabéns e Abraço,
Lucas
