Names and Addresses

I think for the most part that major, obvious emotional facial expressions are pretty easy to distinguish. For example, I feel pretty confident that I know if someone is in pain, very upset, or very happy. I DO think though, that minor expressions probably vary more from culture to culture. So, if I am in a social situation where maybe some people would rather be somewhere else, I'm sure that is harder to tell ANYWHERE.
