The Eurohug, Is It a Thing? : A Global Guide to Embrace
- I write these words as an American. While we here in this country might lack a commonly agreedupon
- modus operandi when it comes to physical expression, there are places in the world where
- they have things like “customs” and “protocol.”
- First off, chances are good that the occasion of a visit from the Brussels office isn’t a good time
- to get huggy — workplace customs are fraught enough without the added potential for cultural
- misunderstanding. But what do you do? Herewith, some highly subjective and unscientific
- guidelines.
- Europe, Northern: These people will happily get completely starkers with you in a sauna, but
- they’re not especially physically demonstrative. I know, I think it’s weird, too.
- Europe, Southern: Red-wine people tend more often than not to be cheek-kiss people. This
- freaks Americans out, because we don’t know how to kiss anything that isn’t a baby without
- spinning out into a puritanical lust-guilt cycle.
- Russia: That’s not a hug, he’s just patting you down to check for wires.
- Asia and the Middle East: These countries ________ practicing social conventions since before
- Europe even got it together enough to die in droves of the Black Plague, so do some Google
- research and try not to screw it up too badly, you barbarian.
- Australia: These people will hug, arm-wrestle, back-slap, whatever. Think of them as Americans
- who know a lot about bugs.
- Africa: It’s a big place. Find out what country ………… visitors are from, Google it, and then
- default to shaking hands like you always do.
- Latin America: Also cheek-kiss people, but sometimes just the one cheek. The disaster here is
- when you think you’re being culturally correct, but you forget that you don’t kiss the other cheek
- and wind up smacking your forehead straight into the forehead of the person ………….. trying to
- greet, making the notion of a “first impression” regrettably literal.
- Canada: Do whatever you want to these people; …….… too nice to say anything. Tell them that
- butt-patting is a time-honored (honoured!) tradition in your state/city/men’s club, and they will
- fall all over themselves trying to lay ……..… paws on your bottom, no matter how much it’s killing
- them inside.
- Canada, but Quebec: WARNING: THESE ARE DOUBLE-CHEEK KISS PEOPLE. YOU THINK
- THEY’RE CANADIAN, BUT THEY’RE NOT. THEY WILL NOT FALL FOR YOUR TRICKS — USE
- EXTREME CAUTION.
- England: Sweet Jesus, don’t touch the English. The only way to win the affection of an English
- person is to land a particularly nuanced insult, and he or she will express that affection by
- drinking you under the table at some absurdly early-evening hour.
- Antarctica: AAAAAAH, IT’S A PENGUIN!!! HUG IT! IT’S THE CUTEST THING!!!
