GREETING CUSTOMS AROUND THE WORLD
USA: It is normal for men to shake hands when they meet, but it is quite unusual for men to kiss when they greet each other. Greetings are casual-a handshake, a smile and a ''hello'' will do just fine
UK: The British often simply say ''hello'' when they meet friends. They usually shake hands only when they meet for the first time. Social kissing is common in an informal situation between men and women and also between women who know each other very well
FRANCE: The French, including children, shake hands with their friends and often kiss them on both cheeks, both upon meeting and leaving
ARAB countries: In Arab countries, close male friends or colleagues hug and kiss both cheeks. They shake hands with their right hand only, for longer but less firmly than in West. Contact between the opposite genders in public is considered obscene. Do not offer to shake hands with the opposite sex.
HUNGARY: Hungarians like to use the friendly greeting form of kissing each other on the cheeks. The most comon way is to kiss from your right to your left. When men meet for the first time, the casual greeting is a frm handshake
