Leaving for my first trip to Colombia, what is the proper way to greet people? Shake hands? High fives? Do I initiate a kiss on the cheek to every woman I meet? Or do I say "hi" and let them kiss me if they want? How about meeting elderly folks? Kids?

msaucey says on Jan 14, 2008, 09:06: You picked up the vibe... Normally it would be a soft hand shake followed by a kiss to the left cheek... The trouble about trying to make yourself stupider than you really are is that you very often succeed. - CS Lewis 0 funny, 0 helpful. |

Tinto (Moderator) says on Jan 14, 2008, 09:49: In general, Colombia remains a very traditional country. When meeting a man, it's best to lift up his loincloth and firmly grasp his testicles. When meeting a woman, stick your nose and face between her breasts (all adult women are topless) and rapidly shake your head from side to side while mumbling something unintelligible.

Robert Jorge says on Jan 14, 2008, 09:51: Picking your teeth after a dinner date, at a table, would be up there with picking your nose or cleaning your ears. Like LilaM said, just go to the bathroom. Or take a 2 minute walk. Same thing if you have to fart. He who farts in church, sits in his own pew. 0 funny, 0 helpful. |

morphus says on Jan 14, 2008, 11:21: How about kissing girls before you figure out they are hookers? You can even have sex with a girl in Colombia before finding out she is a hooker. Be careful!

Ryan2000 says on Jan 14, 2008, 11:39: LilaM, thanks for the advice... The rest of you guys are trying to get me killed!!! But I am taking notes, while in Manizales I'll keep an eye out for men with loincloths, women with adam's apples and I won't touch the maid!

Mr. Hollywood says on Jan 14, 2008, 20:00: GIB, here's the way to figure out if they're trannies. While you're down there kissing a girl's adam's apple, check for stubble. If she's got 5 O'Clock shadow, it's confirmed. No need for the package check.
