Cultural Insight
Becky: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight.
Jacob: When you meet someone for the first time it's very polite to shake hands. You can also give a handshake when leaving again to say 'thank you'. Kissing on the cheek is only done when good friends or relatives meet each other.
