Hi, I live in Spain =)

1) How do you say hello in your country ? (word, hug, kiss... / with your family (if different with male and female, please indicate), boss, friends...)

If you are a girl, you will give two kisses in the cheeks to a girl and to a boy, but not between boys. Between boys they just shake their hands. It's the same than for the boss and for jobs partners.


2) Have you ever been abroad ? If yes, where. How did you say hello there ?
Yes to England, to France, to Portugal ... In mediterranean countries it's more usual to kiss each other to say hello. In the north of Europe is more usual just to shake hands.

3) In france, people kiss (even if they don't know each others). How do you feel about that ? does it shock you ? Do you do it in your country ?
They also do that in Spain so I am more shocked when people don't ..

4) Do you think it's necessary to adapt to a country's greetings to be easily integrated ?
No, I don't think so.

5) Would you be in favor of an international code for greetings ?
No.
