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??

In some European countries, a kiss is equivalent to a handshake here.

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.

with several sexy colombian friends
we usually kiss on the cheek to say hi or welcome.
It's never really been weird for me.

Here in Miami, there's a lot of guy-hugging and cheek-kissing for girls.
