I really enjoyed reading about your experience! I enjoy reading about the culture clashes you encountered. To someone not grown up in either culture, they give a glimpse both into Russia and the USA.
That being said, how do people say goodbye in the USA?
- gk1 8y agoIn the US it's common for people to shake hands, regardless of gender. Many people like to hug, even with people they've just met.
- concerned_user 8y agoI lived in big cities for all my life with short trips to the country in summer, from my experience is that those who live in the city men would shake hands and/or nod, rarely hug. The ones that live in smaller towns/villages tend to hug a lot more. With women it is if you are an acquaintance then a nod, a friend usually a hug, can be a kiss on the cheek sometimes. With women from smaller towns they might hug and kiss strangers probably out of habit. Since US is quite rural that would explain more hug prone culture.
