:D haha don't go by the title...I ain't offering any..it's just the local greeting tradition that has taken me by surprise! So this is how it goes - whenever you meet someone for the first time in the day, you greet that person by touching your cheek to the person's with the sound of a kiss...so it goes like muaah muaah :)
Two men greeting each other would just shake hands (I know it would be really weird otherwise! lol)...So it's reserved between women; or a man & woman.
After the fiasco I've detailed in my 1st post...when I reached office...this is the 'adventure' that was waiting for me to make my heart feel lighter! I couldn't help but grin from ear to ear as one by one people stopped by my desk to greet me thence.
I'm not sure if it's a common way of greeting for most part of the world...but atleast it wasn't in all the places I've visited so far and is a complete No-No in my part of the world!
But I must say..1 week of practice and I'm already good at it! so much so I'm even offended if someone skips greeting me this way owing to my 'foreign' status :-D
hehe...my husband says I'm enjoying :-P ...what do you think?
