You don't always have to say hello or thank you to show that you really are welcoming a person or showing appreciation. Let me show you how people in other countries, such as Japan, the Eskimos and US do it.
IN JAPAN, they greet by bowing.
How the Eskimos greet by rubbing their noses.
IN JAPAN, they greet by bowing.
How the Eskimos greet by rubbing their noses.How the people in the states greet by kissing. ( This video was a joke, but yeah you get the idea don't you)
Non-verbal cues such as this can often be pretty misleading. The non-verbal cues accepted in one country might not be accepted in another. For instance, if an American were to greet an Asian by 'kissing', the Asian dude would probably be screaimg rape hysterically like a mad hyena!
Don't you agree?

ahhhahaa. thats hilarious. but yes true. i think the eskimos way is really cute. and the japanese way is just so like.. prudish? a lot of girls from girls school (ie me) hug in a way of greeting. also cultured from church. sometimes when i say bye to a friend thats not from a girls school i almost hug the person, then i remember not to in case that person thinks im lesbian or something. different non-verbal cues really say different things in different culture!
i think the eskimos way is quite cute too. but i think if we incorporated that into our culture here, it will def be too close for comfort!
