Greetings in other cultures

Bangladesh -- one makes a relaxed salute with the right hand. Benin -- young men often snap fingers when shaking hands Botswana -- people touch hands, like a handshake that doesn't include a grip, just lightly grazing palms and fingers. They ask each other: "How did you wake?" (It's interesting, in our family, we often ask, "How did you sleep?") Cambodia -- here, one would put your hands together like "praying hands" holding them against your chest. http://www.brucevanpatter.com/world_greetings.html
