How many kisses?
You must remember this: you were going in for a double
European - style greeting kiss with a friend who was expecting
only a single cheek peck. It’s an awkward question that constantly
creates trouble for traveleres: How many times should you pucker
up? Here’s a handy guide:
One: A single buss is acceptable in the U.S., but it’s mostly a
big-city, phenomenon. Women will give a brief hug, while men
shake hands. In the Middle East, one kiss on the lips is a normal
greeting, but not between men and women.
Two: Double up in Spain, Austria, Sweden, Hungary and,
more recently, in Britain.
Three or more: Triple kisses will work in Egypt, Russia,
Switzerland and the Netherlands. Business in Belgium? Three
kisses are a sign of respect for those at least 10 years older than
you. Pack your lip balm in France; many people still insist on four
kisses.
Keep your lips to yourself: Germans rarely greet with a kiss.
In Chile, opt for a handshake. Skip the kiss and bow or shake
hands instead when visiting Japan, China and Korea.
