Kiss, bow, shake hand?

people greet each other in many different ways. we asked people four people to describe the way
they greet people in their country. Here’s what wrote.
I greet people differently depending on the situation. in formal situations, I usually shake hands.
And when I meet someone for the first time, I almost always shake hands. it’s important to shake
hands firmly. when I greet casual friends, I just say, “Hi” for close friends, I usually give them a
hug. it's a little different from men though. Where I live, it's not very common for Male friends to
hug each other. they do other things like the “first bump” that's when two people touch fists.
(Sandra (US)
in formal situations or when I meet someone for the first time, I shake hands it’s important to
shake hands firmly and look the other person in the eye when you greet them. I always hug my
friends. Hugging is perfectly acceptable. it's Ok for men to hug other me, for men to hug other
women, for women to hug other women. Kamal (Turkey)
In a formal situation or when I meet someone for the first time, I always shake hands. when I
greet a Male friend, I give them a hug and a pat on the back. when I greet a close female friend, I
give her a small hug and kiss on the cheek. My female friends greet each other in this way too.
Octavia (Venezuela)
