that's good manners..

• I don't shake hands with the locals, I just give them the english-speaking hello nod when I meet them for the first time. I usually reserve shaking hands for people who seem to have blood in them. Most middle-class german (guys) seem like passive-aggressive nerds, poised on the blocks to start some obscure head game or competition with me. I just nod then look away, let the introducer do the talking, until maybe the other guy calms down and doesn't start pumping about how many aborigines I exploit or what about Iraq, why is your country there. They have no real friendly masculine communication. Failures.
