The first meeting.

In my country when people first meet they shake hands with a big smile on their face. You start to tell jokes if you find the person you meet sociable and talkative although. even though it's your first meeting.

 In the US you also shake hands when it's the first time that you meet, but you don't tell jokes until you know the person better.

Sorry, I think I have just sent a friend request by mistake lol Anyway, that's very unusual for me. In my country (Brazil), when people meet, they usually kiss themselves upon the cheek 2 or 3 times and shake hands. If you meet someone and start telling a joke here, you may be taken as a inconvenient person because, depending on the context, jokes might sound old-fashioned. They are old people's business here.
