COLLAGE OF GREETINGS
EACH TO HIS OWN
THE FORMAL/NORMAL HUMAN WAY
It’s fascinating to observe the
differences in how people greet each
other in different countries. What can
be a show of affection among friends
in one country, can signal an
amorous advance in another
In France, when people first see
each other they “faire la bise”,
which means “do the kiss”. The
most common way to faire la bise
is one kiss on each cheek
• 10. Use first names of people whom you have just met only after they
give you permission.?
• Not everyone wants to be addressed informally on the initial encounter. It is
better to err on the side of formality than to offend the other person right off the
bat.
TAIL PIECE
In India we too shake hands-both
ladies and gents or ……. Just a piece
of advice- let the
lady proffer her hand out first before
you make a grab for it.
You will always be right if stand up to
greet-especially while meeting
someone for the first time.
DISCLAIMER
I, hereby declare that if I in any way
have got any country’s custom
wrong please do not hold me liable
for my ignorance. Please do not
curse me or any of my descendants
if you get slapped or hugged or
approached in a more amorous way-
if greeted some one the incorrect
way.
Just being a good CiteHrian.
