Yes, indeed. I absolutely agree that sometimes it’s quite difficult to blend different cultures, or more specifically, its manners.
ReplyDeleteOne of the most is the way we should greet when you are abroad. Which is the most suitable? Or rather, how would you prefer to be greeted?:
Kissed -French style?
Double kissed – northern Spanish one?
Three times kissed - Switzerland?
Even four times - Arabian?
Hugged – Spanish again, lenghwise and widthwise?
Hugged and kissed – southern Spanish?
A cold and distant shake of hands - Scandinavian?
A regulated and calculated bow – Japanese?
A genuine Inuit nosed kiss?
What about stirring all of them up?
Are those real or simply a whole string of stereotypes we learn and transfer quite often?
María.
Sorry, instead of French is American, isn't it?
