FOUND THE IDEA
Group Five is a small 'design community' which combine with four Belgium students and four Chinses students. They have different culture background and speaks different languages. In order to communicate in a more efficient way, they use body langages as a tool to exchange ideas and infomation. By asking 'what time should we go back to the conference'. They responded the same answer in English but different way with hand gesture. They wanted to celebrate each indivisual part of different way of experssing information and also to find out the connection between China and Belgium.

Situations and Examples
Why Numbers?
Numbers are considered as one of the most common and simplest information that people exchange everyday. Chinese people use numbers to create meaning by imitating the similar sound of the Chinese character. What's more, in their culture each indivisual number has it's own meaning. (eg, 8 stand for 'Rich', etc.)
Why Numbers?
