In Japan, people usually bow to greet each other. The bow shows respect. The deeper the bow, the more respect they want to express. In Korea, people also bow, but sometimes they shake hands at the same time. In the US and Canada, people often shake hands when they meet for the first time. Friends may hug or kiss on the cheek, but this is not common between strangers. In Thailand, people greet each other with a “wai”. They put their hands together at the chest and bow a little. The “wai” is a polite way to show respect. In China, we usually shake hands or wave to greet others. We don’t usually hug or kiss in public, because it’s not our custom. Knowing these greeting customs helps us avoid making mistakes when we meet people from other countries. ( )26. What do Japanese people do to greet each other? A. Shake hands.　B. Bow.　C. Hug.　D. Kiss.
