2 - Both these expressions are very informal and very common. They can be used when greeting a complete stranger or an old friend.

4 - There are many ways of greeting someone in English. You have probably already meantioned the most common. Beyond that, it really depends on where in the English speaking world you are. For instance, in the UK, one of the most common greetings is to simply say "alright?" - short for 'are you alright?". In Australia they say 'g'day' - short for 'good day'. Apparently.

The city center was also interesting. There were lights, a christmas tree, frost and the biggest flakes of snow. What could be better? Exactly - a hot cup of coffee. I liked three things in Novosibirsk city center – the Opera Building, the history museum (please have a look at the photo attached) and the Chapel of Saint Nilokolay. The Opera Building was constructed during the time of the Soviet Union; nevertheless, it has an interesting architectural style. The history museum reminded me of the truck in the Coca-Cola Christmas advert. The Chapel of Saint Nicolay was the geographic center of Imperial Russia.
I spent two unforgettable weeks in Novosibirsk. At the end of my trip, the weather became cold. I remember the day when the thermometer registered minus forty centigrade. It was extremely cold, I thought that I had frosted my nose (frostbite on my nose?). (No joke) Please don’t believe anyone when they tell you that climate in Siberia is very mild and dry and that you won't feel frosty and cold - they're lying! I felt very frosty and cold.
So I resume (conclude) that Novosibirsk is very nice city but not in winter.0 votedSeptember 7, 20131- there is a subtle difference between intelligence, wit and wisdom. wisdom often suggests age - you would rarely hear a youngster being referred to as possessing wisdom, it's something you gain as you get older.
