MEETING NEW PEOPLE
A INDIA
Although the western tradition of shaking hands is quite common, many Indian people value the traditional form of greeting in which you put your hands together and just move your head down a little. While doing so, you should say the word ‘Namaste’. Remember not stand too close as personal space is very important for Indian people.
B BRAZIL
When you meet a group of people, it’s important to greet each of the people present individually. Men usually shake hands while married women kiss each other once on each cheek. Single women add one more kiss. People usually stand very close to the person they’re greeting.
C IRAN
When meeting people in a formal situation, it is important to remember that men must only greet other men (by kissing on the cheek) while women can only greet other women. This idea is similar in many of the neighbouring Arab countries. Shaking hands is usually used for less formal situations, like meeting a friend in the street.
