Title: Cultural Greetings
Post by: Tezuni on May 06, 2012, 11:14:06 PM
What are some strange / interesting cultural greetings you guys know of?
For example, I find it strange we shake hands in the USA, especially with our right hands lol...Japanese bows anyone??

Here in Hungary we give a kiss to both sides of the face for women and shake hands with men.

I'm perfectly okay with this.

Uhm, here we kiss, shake hands, and sometimes handshake-hug. Depends on the situation and the closeness to the person.
