- It is considered very rude to ask “how are you”
without the faintest sign of being genuinely interested.
- Always shake hands when meeting friends. Your handshake
should be a firm but not too tight grip, and you should
look the other person straight in the eye.
- This is taken seriously in this country.
- Also, note that it is the woman's right to initiate a
handshake.
