You know? Just "greeting" reflects the culture of each country.

🌏 know? Just "greeting" reflects the culture of each country interestingly! 👋

When we travel abroad, the little thing that should not be overlooked is "how to say hello," because each society has different customs and meanings; some countries use worship; some countries bow; some countries shake hands; or some cultures have a touch of the cheek to show familiarity.

🇮🇳 India: "Muste" style.

🇯🇵 Japan: Bow to Show Politeness

🇹🇭 Thailand: Wai Wai is unique to Thai culture.

🇳🇿 New Zealand: Maori have the custom of "Hongi."

🇫🇷 France: Greetings with a Cheek Kiss, or La Bise in Some Contexts

🇮🇹 Italy / 🇪🇸 Spain: Cheek kissing may be found in greetings between familiar people.

🇦🇷 Argentina: Often greeted by kissing one cheek in some contexts.

🇨🇳 China: A little handshake or nod.

🇰🇷 South Korea: Bowing and Shaking Hands

🇵🇭 Philippines: Handshakes, and the "Manu" custom to pay homage to adults

🇺🇸 US / 🇬🇧 UK / 🇦🇺 Australia: The handshake is a common pattern.

⚠️ But there are important things to remember. These customs are just the big picture. It doesn't always mean that everyone in that country greets the same thing, because age, relationships, place, religion, and social context all affect how they greet.

💡 Before traveling to a country, study the basic manners of that country a little, because the correct greeting not only makes us polite, but also shows respect for the host's culture.

🌎 Where to travel? Learn the culture there.

Because sometimes "one greeting" can make a good first impression. ❤️

... Read moreเมื่อได้ลองศึกษาวิธีทักทายของแต่ละประเทศ ผมพบว่าการเข้าใจธรรมเนียมเหล่านี้ไม่เพียงแต่ช่วยให้การสื่อสารราบรื่นขึ้น แต่ยังเป็นสะพานเชื่อมความสัมพันธ์ระหว่างคนต่างวัฒนธรรมได้อย่างน่าประทับใจ เช่น การไหว้แบบ "นมัสเต" ในอินเดียซึ่งถือเป็นการแสดงความเคารพอย่างลึกซึ้ง หรือการโค้งคำนับในญี่ปุ่นที่แสดงถึงความสุภาพอ่อนน้อม อีกตัวอย่างที่น่าทึ่งคือ "ฮงงี" ของชาวเมารีในนิวซีแลนด์ ซึ่งเป็นการสัมผัสหน้าผากและจมูกเพื่อแสดงถึงการแบ่งปันชีวิตและจิตวิญญาณร่วมกัน ซึ่งแสดงให้เห็นว่าแต่ละวัฒนธรรมมีความหมายลึกซึ้งในวิธีทักทายที่แตกต่างกัน และแม้ว่าวิธีการจูบแก้มในฝรั่งเศส อิตาลี และสเปนจะเป็นเรื่องปกติ แต่ก็ต้องคำนึงถึงบริบทและความคุ้นเคยของบุคคลด้วย เพราะในบางสถานการณ์อาจไม่เหมาะสม นอกจากนี้ "มารยาท" อย่างการจับมือในสหรัฐฯ สหราชอาณาจักร และออสเตรเลียก็เป็นการทักทายที่แสดงออกถึงความจริงใจและเปิดกว้าง แต่สิ่งสำคัญที่ผมเรียนรู้คือ ธรรมเนียมการทักทายของแต่ละประเทศไม่ใช่เรื่องตายตัว ต้องคำนึงถึงปัจจัยเรื่องอายุ ศาสนา ความสัมพันธ์ และสถานที่จริงเสมอ เช่นเดียวกับเมื่อเดินทางไปประเทศที่มีความหลากหลายทางวัฒนธรรม การเตรียมตัวศึกษามารยาทพื้นฐานก่อนจะช่วยหลีกเลี่ยงความเข้าใจผิด และสร้างความประทับใจแรกที่ดีอย่างยั่งยืนได้จริงๆ ดังนั้นก่อนออกเดินทาง ผมมักจะอ่านเกี่ยวกับวิธีทักทายและความหมายของแต่ละท่าทาง ไม่เพียงเพื่อให้ดูสุภาพ แต่ยังเป็นการแสดงความเคารพอย่างแท้จริงต่อวัฒนธรรมเจ้าบ้านอีกด้วย นอกจากจะได้มิตรภาพใหม่ๆ แล้วยังเป็นประสบการณ์ที่เปิดมุมมองความเข้าใจเรื่องวัฒนธรรมที่แตกต่างกันได้อย่างลึกซึ้ง

This is what “the culture” means and why
“The culture” is a love letter from African Americans to African Americans. It’s about taking ownership of our worldwide contributions that get erased, that we get gaslit about, or told that we don’t matter. #theculture #blackculture #blackcultureappreciation #blackcultureconversations

A Kwanzaa graphic explaining Day One, where the black candle is lit, symbolizing unity and togetherness. It shows illustrations of a kinara and seven lit candles in red, black, and green.
An illustration of 'UMOJA THE MOTHER,' described as a protective and nurturing figure, a historian, and peacekeeper for her extended family, embodying the principle of unity.
The proper greeting for Kwanzaa is: 🗣️ “Habari Gani?” It means “What’s the news?” or “What’s happening?” in Swahili. The correct response is to name the principle of the day. For example: • December 26 (Day 1): 👉 Umoja (Unity) So it goes like this on the porch: 🪑 Person A
