knuckles against their forehead. When the knuckles are touching the forehead they say “Mano”(means hand) and “Po”(means respect.)
In Japan the common greeting for men and women is to bow when they meet someone. The deeper the bow, the greater level of respect in shown.
In Arab countries, close male friends or colleagues hug and kiss both cheeks. They shake hands with the right hand only, longer but less firmly than in the

In Belgium people kiss on one cheek when they meet.

may shake hands or kiss each other on both cheeks.
