i learned that still now that's been about a week since i got here, i'm still not used to the social conventions of greeting people and i feel kinda akward.

well, we usually shake hands with people everytime we see them for the first time in the day and when we say goodbye too, if its closer people we shake hands and then hug. with girls interactions its mainly a kiss on the cheek. now young kids also tend to kiss on the cheek, even though its not a real kiss on the cheek, just putting two cheeks together and making a smooch sound. and when its your girlfriend you kiss her in the mouth for greeting and goodbyes.

here everybody just says hi or sometimes nothing, so it was kinda weird specially when i arrived.
