How do you greet people(friends or family)?
I'd like to know how to greet people in the world.
In Japan we usually say 'Hi' or bow to people.
Is it strange or same in your country?
*Please don't forget to write where are you from:)

Hello, Kaede!
Here, it usually depends on the situation and the people.
On the one hand, if you see those people frequently, we just say: 'Hola' (hello) or we use any amicable phrase such as 'Ey, ¡qué pasa!' (hey, what's up).
On the other hand, if you rarely meet those people, then we kiss each other (normally two kisses). Furthermore, when we meet new friends or people, we also kiss each other.

I come from Indonesia.
In Indonesia, you just shake hand or hug (man to man or man to woman)
but woman to woman they use "cipika cipiki" then hug, it means kissing the cheek
also for the youngsters, we usually hug as a greeting

In Norway it depends on the situation, some only say "Hei" which is the same as hi, and some say "God morgen" in the morning, which means good morning, together with a little nod. Among youngsters it's more normal to hug as a greeting.

I'm very interessed in Japanese Culture, and a big fan of your people.
