In the 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.

The British often simply say “hello” when they meet friends. They usually shake hands only when they meet for the first time. Social kissing, often just a peck(轻吻) on the cheek(脸颊), is common in an informal situation between men and women and also between women who know each other very well.

In Japan, the common greeting for both men and women is to bow when they greet someone, instead of giving a handshake or a hug.

Hungarians like to greet in a friendly way—kiss each other on both cheeks. The most common way is to kiss from your right to your left. When men meet for the first time, a handshake is the norm．
