37. International greeting customs japan
JAPAN - Both handshaking and bowing are accepted forms of greeting in international business circles so take your lead from the person you are meeting. If shaking hands, do so lightly. If you are greeted with a bow, respond by bowing in kind. In Japan, people bow when they meet. As with the wai, the way people bow shows the relationship and the situation. For example in formal situations, when greeting a respected person, people bend almost 45 degrees at the waist with their eyes looking downward at the floor. They longer they hold this position and the more times they bow the greeter the respect. In semi-formal situations, when meeting someone for the first time, people bow at the waist at about a 15-degree angle. And in casual situations, when greeting friends, people just do a quick lowering of the head or head and shoulders and look at each other.

RUSSIA - Russians usually use a firm (sometimes very firm) handshake when meeting a guest. If you've met the person before don't be surprised if the greeting includes a hug. Russian men customarily kiss their guest's cheeks (men and women alike) while women reserve such intimacies for other Russians and simply shake hands with foreigners.

41. International greeting customs france
FRANCE - Shake hands with one brisk stroke upon arrival and departure and make sure to shake hands with everyone. In France, people often ‘air kiss’ when they meet people they know. They lean forward, put their cheeks together, and make a kissing sound. Then they change cheeks and do it all over again. In Paris, people usually kiss two or three times, but in other parts of France, they usually kiss two or three times. Men only kiss other men if they are very, very close friends or family members. Women kiss both men and other women they know. When meeting someone of the opposite sex for the first time, though, both men and women usually just wave or shake hands.
