Wai bow
In many Asian countries, people greet each other by
bowing. In Thailand, a bow is known as a “wai”.
To greet someone you respect, like your teachers, press
your palms together near your chest, then lower your head and
raise your hands until your thumbs touch your nose and your
index fingers touch the space between your eyebrows. To greet
an older person or someone of your age, do the same thing,
but this time, touch your nose with your index fingers instead.
And if someone “wais” to you, you can return it. Just place
your palms together in front of your chest.

Two claps(鼓掌)
Some Zimbabweans follow handshakes with two claps
each. In order to prevent(预防) the spread of diseases, the
first step is often skipped(省略) now. When two people
meet, the first person asks, “How are you?” Then, this person
claps. The other person replies, “I'm fine.” and claps in return.

Shaka sign
This way of greeting has been popular among surfers(网
迷). It started with Hamana Kallili, a Hawaiian man. After
losing his three middle fingers in an accident, he used the
Shaka sign to greet his coworkers.
To show your own shaka, curl(使弯曲) your three middle
fingers, straighten out your thumb and little finger, and shake
your hand back and forth.
