Customs of Salutations Across Nations and Cultures
In a wide survey of greeting customs, readers learn how Malays, Chinese, Japanese, Moorish, German, Belgian, Egyptian, and Moorish people greet newcomers with bows, handshakes, or teases of ritual robes. The piece notes bread sharing in Spain, kissing, and nose rubbing in Malay and Polynesian traditions, plus caution about formal salutes among colder nations and sacred gestures within faiths. It also touches exotic animal performances, beauty tips for women, and a brief vignette on a Californian Indian village school and children.
