An E-mail from Donna 王彩琴 河南师范大学外国语学院 Dear Caiqin, It has been about 10 years since we met each other in Texas, my hometown, in 2005. How have you been doing? In the past 10 years, I’ve ever worked in Russia, India and New Zealand. And I’m going to teach English in China this September! People in different countries greet each other in different ways. We usually shake hands, and some people kiss or hug to greet each other. In India, people put their hands together and nod their heads. In Russia, people usually kiss three times: left, right, left. And do you know what Maori people in New Zealand do when they meet? They touch noses! How do you greet each other in China? Looking forward to meeting you in China. Best wishes.
