　　Tu: What?

 

　　Amir: Yeah, just like Italian people. We do that.

 

　　Tu: Really? For greeting?

 

　　Amir: For greetings.

 

　　Tu: In public?

 

　　Amir: No, you go in the party, there are like fifty people sitting in the living room, then all of them stand up, and the new guest arrives, and then they shake hands and they have to kiss three times each person on the cheeks. It just takes so long. Sometimes when I'm back from other countries I feel like well, just greet them by just waving my hand, things like that.

Females, Vietnamese females got the habit of holding hands on the street, you know, going shopping and hanging out, just friends, female friends. I don’t see many men holding hands, but usually females do it quite often.
