INTRODUCTION
"Handshaking"
Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog. How are you yesterday and today? I hope you guys always healthy. So today I want to share about how to shake hands in Flores, East Nusa Tenggara, which is my hometown.
Each region has a different way of shaking hands, for example in Korea they bow when meet people, different from Australia, where a woman usually offers a handshake first to a man. Usually, women do not shake hands with other women.
I have experienced shaking hands with Flores people. Flores (Indonesian: Pulau Flores) is one of the Lesser Sunda Islands, a group of islands in the eastern half of Indonesia. The name Flores is derived from the Portuguese for "flowers". Flores is located east of Sumbawa and Komodo islands and west of Lembata island and the Alor Archipelago. At that time I went to my hometown and met my brothers, I thought shaking hands was a normal thing to do but they did a tradition of greeting the nose. Namely touching and rubbing our noses, between us and other people we meet. To anyone; both men to women and vice versa, children to parents and vice versa, local residents for guests and vice versa. But when I go to family events in Jakarta, they do the handshake as usual but with a strong and close and not forget the smile they give. But some of them still do the tradition of greetings nose.
