What Are the Most Surprising Greeting Customs Found Around the World?

When I travel, I’ve found some really surprising ways people say hello:

  • New Zealand: They do something called the Hongi, where people press their foreheads and noses together. It feels really personal!

  • France: In France, how many kisses on the cheek you give depends on the place. Sometimes it's two kisses, other times it’s three!

  • Japan: In Japan, people usually bow when they greet each other. It shows a lot of respect with just one simple movement!

These different ways of greeting have made me think about how I say hello to others!
