In France we kiss.

In Australia we hug. I discovered it the hard way.

When a girl walks up to you, at work in causal work situations, in France you start a kiss on the face. But in Australia she walks 20cm closer and the kiss lands in the neck, and it’s a very, very awkward moment.

(Fortunately she accepted my deep excuses while I babbled to explain what had just happened).
