Greetings

A common custom is to greet others with a handshake, often followed by a kiss on the cheek among friends. It's polite to greet everyone in the group and use titles and surnames until invited to use first names.

Dress Modestly

Hospitality Etiquette

If invited to someone's home, it is customary to bring a small gift, such as pastries or sweets. Always accept offers of food and drink, as declining can be seen as impolite. It’s also respectful to wait for the host to start the meal before eating.
