Who greets how?

  Salutations have different peculiarities and traditions among the peoples of the world. For example, when the ancient Chinese saw each other, they greeted each other with both hands on their chests and a slight bow. We also have this habit, when greeting our little ones to their grandparents or close relatives, we require the child to press and bend both hands on the chest.

  In general, the peoples of the world have equally understandable gestures, hand, eye, face, head, lip movements. With the movement of these members, any person can easily understand each other even without an interpreter. In fact, in Colombia, two thousand of such gestures have been collected and published as an annotated dictionary. Experts point out that such gestures have existed since ancient times.
