Bowing (Japan & South Korea): The standard greeting. The depth of the bow conveys the level of respect and acknowledges social hierarchy. Is it easy or difficult to understand social hierarchy in your culture?, Namaste (India): Involves pressing the palms together at chest level with a slight bow, often accompanied by a gentle head nod or wobble. Do you prefer physical contact (like handshakes) or no contact? Why?, Handshakes (USA & Northern Europe): A firm handshake is a standard business greeting conveying confidence. In contrast, a soft handshake or no handshake at all is preferred in regions like Japan. When is it better not to shake hands?, Cheek Kisses (France & Latin America): Common for social greetings. The number of kisses and which cheek is offered first vary by region. How many kisses are common in your country?, Thumbs-Up: Signifies "good job" or "approval" in North America and Europe. However, it is an offensive, insulting gesture in Iran and parts of the Middle East. How can you avoid offending someone in another country?, The "OK" Sign (Forming an 'O' with thumb and forefinger): Means "everything is good" in the US, but translates to an insulting term in parts of Latin America and France, or means "money" in Japan. What does this gesture mean in Costa Rica?, Beckoning (USA vs. Asia): Waving with the index finger pointing up (the "come here" gesture) is standard in North America, but using it to beckon someone in the Philippines can lead to an arrest. In parts of Asia, beckoning is done with the palm facing down while scratching with all four fingers. How do you call someone to come closer?, Nodding & Shaking: While generally understood, head movements are not universal. In Bulgaria and Albania, nodding your head means "no" and shaking your head means "yes". How can you check understanding when talking to someone?, Head Wobble (South Asia): A side-to-side tilt of the head in India acknowledges the speaker and can signify "I am listening," approval, or uncertainty. How do you show that you are listening?
