How to say hello abroad?

In fact, what we are most afraid of when traveling abroad is greeting, because we also know that every country has a different way of greeting, and we are afraid that we will be laughed at if we do something wrong. In fact, this is still light, and it is even heavier if it violates other people's taboos. Therefore, we need to know how other countries greet each other.

Africa 1

A common greeting in Africa: raise your right hand and point your palm at the other person, indicating that "it's not a stone in my hand". It means: no weapons. This is a symbol of friendship.

2. Thailand

Thai people put their hands together, cut their heads slightly and read "Sa-wat-Dee-Ka(Khrap)" at the same time. The higher the position of the hand, the more respect it shows.

3. Japan

The Japanese bow when they meet, but say "konnichiwa". Familiar people can bow to each other for 2 or 3 seconds; If you meet a good friend, bend over for a long time; When you meet your elders, you can't raise your head until they raise their heads, sometimes even bowing many times.

4. Netherlands

Dutch cheek kissing etiquette is to kiss three times in the order of right-left-right cheek. In a normal relationship or between two men, there is no kissing on the cheek. Only business partners shake hands!

5. New Zealand

The general greeting is "Kiaora", and the traditional etiquette is to touch each other's nose, aiming at letting both sides breathe together.

6. India

Indians all know to shake hands with westerners, but if you meet a local and want to say hello in the traditional way, you can put your hands together, pose in prayer, and lean forward (but don't bow) and say.

"namaste" (Namaste in India).

7. France

French kissing etiquette is more complicated: kiss each other's right cheek first, and the number of kisses will be different in different regions. In some areas, only one kiss is needed, while in most parts of northern France, five kisses are needed to meet.

8. North Korea; South Korea

South Korea generally does not hold hands as a courtesy to meet. Generally speaking, nodding or bowing is a common etiquette, and at the same time, you will say "Annyconghascyo". The deeper you bow, the more respect you show.

Okay, do you understand? If we go to these countries in the future, we must remember how to greet the locals, because we can't travel without saying a word to the locals, so we should learn something to save ourselves from making a fool of ourselves!
