Woah! Just look at the body language of the two; feet and hands. Separately speaking, if someone in the media monitoring section of the mighty US Embassy is reading this, could you please inform the ambassador that in Asian cultures feet do not point towards a person. I'm sure he misplaced his State Department booklet on cultural nuisances.
The body language between the two just shows why Dar will do anything to get funds in short term and create a bubble in long run.
