Discuss any experience you have with such greetings and how your introduction customs compare with those in the reading. Have you ever been in a situation where the introduction was culturally different than what you are used to? Was it uncomfortable?
Do you like/dislike other types of greetings that you have been exposed to? Why or why not?
