In the USA, when you pass by someone you know, a nod is acceptable, and you usually shake hands with someone you first meet. But in Latin countries, a firm handshake 1 ( consider ) rude. In my home country, Mauritius, when people meet, they usually kiss each other 2 the cheeks. This is also common in France, 3 the act is called faire la bise. However, this is not 4 universal rule.

During my first week in the USA, I kissed every single girl I met. My friends had to tell me that was inappropriate, 5 ( leave ) me in great embarrassment. What is common here, however, is for friends 6 ( hug ) each other — something I was not used to. Hugs always make me 7 ( frighten ) because I don't really like that. This may seem strange since even kissing 8 ( stranger ) is normal in my country. Now that I think about it, I hate cheek-kissing as well.

Wouldn't it be 9 ( enjoy ) to have a greeting code that is 10 ( wide ) acceptable? I'm not saying we should start doing that, but we can surely do something to avoid misunderstanding.
