Different from country to country, a kiss or a hand shake may be other worldly ways to say hello.

Here’s a few pointers for some country:

• In the United Arab Emirates, men kiss other men three to four times on the cheeks.

• In Saudi Arabia, men kiss on both cheeks after shaking hands.

• In France you just rub cheeks and kiss the air. It’s the same with in Spain but you go to the right side first.

• In Holland you kiss three times, begin on the right cheek, then on the left and then end it on the right cheek again.

• In Russia you kiss on the lips.

• While on the United Stated of America you only kiss the air.

• And in the United Kingdom you just shake hands the same as in Germany.

Not every country has this tradition, check the locals about what’s done and not done before you do it!

Stay Happy,
