Kissing as a greeting custom in different countries

Greeting is a very important part of first relationship because it shows to unknown person how polite you are. The result of this first meeting can be different: 1) you are going to continue your mutual relations or 2) the first meeting will be enough for the interlocutor because of the first unpleasant greeting as for some people it is very important to respect their customs and traditions. In our research we tell about kissing as a greeting because it is very popular salutation in some countries however in others it is prohibited. We consider that our research topic is relevant to this day. The material can be used as additional information at the lessons on the subject of intercultural communication.
