One custom that gives insight into people’s history and values is the way they greet one
another. There is a wide range of greetings around the world. These range from the common
handshake to other strange rituals found in some countries. Let’s take a look at how the
simple action of greeting someone differs greatly from place to place.

eye is the usual method. Handshakes are also common in other parts of the world, including

handshake. Handshakes are also how most people in New Zealand greet each other.
However, the native Maori people of that country display more physical contact: they press
their noses together in a sign of trust and closeness.
In other countries, such as France and Belgium, hugging and kissing are more common
