FUN FACTS

In Chile ,greeting consists of a handshake
and a hug ,sometimes with a kiss to the
right cheek for women or family
members .Generally ,a handshake is
appropriate when people meet for the first
time.

In the USA ,it is normal for men to shake
hands when they meet but it is unusual
for men to kiss when they greet each
other.

How about the British?

The British often do no more than say
“hello” when they see friends. Even adults
usually shake hands only when they meet
for the first time.

French people, including school-
children, shake hands with their friends,
or kiss them on both cheeks, each time
they meet and they leave. That’s why
French people think the British are
unfriendly

In Peru ???

Both men and women shake hands
when meeting and parting .Close friends
often greet each other with a kiss on
one cheek .Men may greet close friend
with a huge .An arm around the
shoulder or a pat on the back is a polite
way to greet young people.
