How to Greet someone in Britain The Handshake A handshake is the most common form of greeting among the English and British people and is customary when you are introduced to somebody new. The Kiss It is only when you meet friends, whom you haven't seen for a long time, that you would kiss the cheek of the opposite sex. In Britain one kiss is generally enough. Formal greetings The usual formal greeting is a 'How do you do?' and a firm handshake, but with a lighter touch between men and women. How do you do? is a greeting not a question and the correct response is to repeat How do you do?' You say this when shaking hands with someone. How do you do? How do you do? 'How are you?' is a question and the most common and polite response is " I am fine thank you and you?" How are you? I am fine thank you and you? Nice to meet you Nice to meet you too. (Often said whilst shaking hands) Delighted to meet you Delighted to meet you too. Pleased to meet you Pleased to meet you too.

Thank you / thanks / cheers We sometime say 'cheers' instead of thank you. You may hear 'cheers' said instead of 'good bye', what we are really saying is 'thanks and bye'.

HOW TO GREET SOMEONE IN KOREA

physical aspect.One must always, when greeting an elder, keep both legs straight and together, put both arms stiffly by your side, keep your back straight and bend from the waist. Keep the head down and do not look at the elder. Then, of course, lift yourself back up. While bowing, say the greeting. Do not bow too slowly nor to quickly. It's a cultural thing that everyone who lives there has to learn. "Submissiveness to authority - parents, elders, and superiors" -- this phrase originated back to the teachings of Confucius in 14th century and is still regarded as an important custom. Respect for elders is crucial. You will find that in Korea age is an important factor in a relationship. Whatever the older person says, goes! While the whole concept is a strict Korean rule, you are not obliged to follow it. However, you would be regarded as a polite and well-mannered person if you did. It is expected that a young person gives up their seat on a bus or train for an elder, although some youth do not see it as necessary. The upside to this concept is that when you go out to eat with someone, it is custom for the older person to pay for the meal. They will also look out for the younger person and share their knowledge. If you are meeting someone for the first time, it is a good idea to give a detailed introduction about yourself. Tell them about your job, nationality etc. Koreans tend to be curious about foreigners, so satisfy their curiousity. Upon entering a Korean home, remove your shoes.

Use two hands when shaking hands with an elder. When accepting a gift from an elder, use two hands.

Think of the Korean bow as a substitute to waving. Remember to bow when saying hello, and again when saying goodbye.

Koreans also tend to use an informal version of the language when talking to well known friends or younger people. "An nyung hah sae yo" is used when speaking to an elder, yet if you are conversing with a friend you can abbreviate the greeting to simply "an nyung".
