    Well, we don't kiss people on the cheek to greet them.

    I think shaking your head in some cultures means yes and others no.

    In Western cultures, barring parents and young children, holding hands indicates a romantic relationship. In Arab and other associated cultures, men hold hands as a sign of trust and friendship, without any romantic connotations.

    Hammer, anvil, forge and fire, chase away The Hoofed Liar. Roof and doorway, block and beam, chase The Trickster from our dreams.
    Vigilance is our shield, that protects us from our squalid past. Knowledge is our weapon, with which we carve a path to an enlightened future.

    Well we Quebecers do. Both cheeks. Men, women, who cares. Just like the Russians.

    I told Gawain if he ever came to Quebec, I was going to bear hug him and plant one on each cheek.

    Glad to see ya!

    The older generation do the same in Spain. If anyone has seen Volver, they'll understand, but the two kisses are those ones that have a massive sound to them, almost like an explosion, but more feminine.
