Research on Cheek Kissing
My jaw dropped the first time when I was visiting Europe and I watched in amazement the way people greeted each other. They both approached each other with open arms, followed by a passionate caress and finally they kissed each other on the cheeks with great affection. It is never awkward or strange in the eyes of Europeans but for those who are strangers to this custom, but it is kind of uncomfortable. You do not know when to begin.
