The Indians (Hindus) and Japanese fold hands and bow (repectively), to each other.

They dont shake hands since they forefathers considered it unclean.

of cause he can. The "Tuale" sign is an alternative. Cos i rarely shake hands. My grandma brought me up that way.



the tuale sign looks more like a tout .... I think a knuckle is the best for guys....

Always put ur hands inside ur pocket when handshaker is moving closer, it helps. Unless the person is a stubborn handshaker. This country self, some old people will want to force u to shake them, stretching out their hands and compelling u to shake them, since I heard they use that to tamper with someone's glory, I have been rejecting them stubbornly too. Some people lack courtesy, forcing someone to shake u is outright rudeness

Then you can't be in a board meeting.
'Tuale' or whatever you call it is more of a defeatist mentality. A sign that the other person is SUPERIOR.
Then, pls don't forget to do 'tuale' when you meet your in-laws too.

it smells good and is also antiseptic

don't u think it's disrespectful to shake an elderly person? What i do is give them my back to pat. I politely tell them "Ah Sir na ur pikin i be oo" and then bend for them to pat my back.

From across a desk while the person is seated? I don't think so.
