yesterday I have come across with one of my greek friends after a long time.
we supposed to do the usual greeting ceremony...a moment of hesitancy...should I kiss (a pretend kiss) him on both cheeks, do they also (pretend to) kiss on both sides? or do they kiss like british, just on one side. or do they not kiss at all.
we end up with the double.
a friend of mine, when she come across with one of her chinese friends dared to try kiss him on the cheeks. the guy was schocked and she wad extremely ashamed.

my brother used to say that one kiss is for "sosyetik", ,it is regarded as a snobbish kiss.

the everyday details and how they turn me into a freak.
