When people meet, they greet each other. But the way they do it is not the same in every country.

In the United States, people often say "Hi" or "Hello" and shake hands. The handshake should be strong, because a weak one may seem unfriendly. If you meet a close friend, you can also hug.

In Japan, people bow. The deeper the bow, the more respect you show. Friends may give only a small nod, but for a teacher or an older person, the bow is longer. Japanese people do not shake hands every time, but they may do so with visitors from other countries.

In France, people give "la bise". They touch cheeks and make a light kissing sound. The

number of kisses is different in each part of France—two, three or even four. Men who are good friends may also do this, but in business people usually shake hands.

In Thailand, people put their hands together in front of the chest and bow slightly. This is called a "wai". The higher the hands and the lower the bow, the more respect is shown. Young people always give a wai to older people first.

So, when you travel, watch and learn the local greeting. It is an easy way to show respect and make new friends.

Jenny is an American middle-school student. Last month she spent a week with her pen pal, Mina, in Seoul, South Korea. Jenny knew a little Korean, but she knew nothing about Korean table manners. On the first night, Mina's mother made a big meal with rice, soup and seven different side dishes called banchan.

When they sat down, Jenny waited for someone to give her a plate, but there was none. Mina's family ate from one big bowl of rice and shared the soup and banchan. Jenny started to take food with her own chopsticks, but Mina quietly stopped her. "We use serving chopsticks or spoons," Mina whispered. "It keeps the food clean for everyone."
