Especially when arriving at a group event or leaving a group, you have to go around and give two to every person. It takes forever! I would much rather give one, universal wave goodbye. I also prefer a good ole hug :)<br /><br />It is especially awkward with somebody who isn't Spanish, because you know that THEY aren't Spanish, but you're both in Spain, so do you do as the Spanish do, or just do what you're both used to? There are always awkward moments, and I just wait for the other person to take the lead, which usually results in us both standing there uncomfortably. <br /><br />AfricanVenturerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04713736310170070273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4071006504303942306.post-14954534409110122772014-04-03T10:06:15.036-05:002014-04-03T10:06:15.036-05:00I prefer the "saying Nice to meet you and wav...I prefer the "saying Nice to meet you and wave awkwardly" version :D I'm not even good at handshakes as my handshake probably feels like touching a dead fish :D But kisses? Oh no. I struggled with that when I was in France and didn't know whether to actually kiss or just cheek-press and how many times you need to do that.....Awkward!! And I was lucky to not accidentally REALLY kiss someone on the mouth :D This definitely is the worst part of being abroad. You never really know what you're supposed to do and in the end you do it wrong anyway..... ;) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07454927690107995911noreply@blogger.com
