Reply #71: The countries I have travelled to:-------->>

[Garam_Masala]

United Kingdom, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Sweden, Czechoslovakia (before the breakup) Egypt, Sri Lanka,
India, Bali, Mexico, Canada, Dominican Republic, Peurto Rico, Jamaica,Trinidad & Tobago, Grenada, Barbados,
Martinique, Virgin Islands and a few more which I can't recall.

So don't get on your high horse and tell me about protocol and traditions. Everywhere I went it was always
a MUTUAL greeting. Most places it is hand shake, other places it is joining your own two hands such as in India.
But it is always mutual since it is never a master and slave greeting or a king and his subject greeting.

Remember we are talking about greeting people from other countries. A Japanese citizen greeting their King is
not the same as head of state from other country greeting the king of Japan. A catholic person greeting the Pope
is not the same as Pope greeting the head of a muslim country such as Egypt, in which case Hosni Mubarak does
not need to kiss the Pope's ring to show respect.

Here is the picture of French Riviera...my favorite!
