Spanish

Bueno normalmente en Venezuela es como en, cuando estás hablando de negocios, que le des la mano a la persona que estás conociendo. Normalmente no nos besamos, sino cuando es una relación bastante de amistad, más que todo. Yo te recomendaría, si vas a tratar en negocios que cuando te presenten a las personas, extiendas tu mano y te mantengas una distancia de por lo menos un metro de distancia y que no tratarás de besar a la persona a menos que ella tome el primer paso.


English

Well normally in Venezuela it is like... when you are talking about business, that you extend your hand to the person that you are meeting. Normally we don't kiss, except for when the relationship is on a more friendly basis, more than anything else. I would recommend that if you are going to deal in business that when you are introduced to a person that you extent your hand and that you stand about a meter away and that you don't try to kiss the person unless she takes the first step.
