People of different nations have different customs of salutation. the Japanese bows, in my India says "namaste" smiley and the Chinese makes motion of the hand. But the most world the custom of shaking hands is followed. Recently this custom has been criticized on hygienic grounds. It is said that some more healthy mode of salutation should be adopted. But this custom has became too deeply ingrained to give up. a greeting without the warm grip of the hand is cold and resulsive for them.

yes , without a handshake that feeeling wont come , handshake also finishes the hesitation most of the time like we are handshaking with our elders ,teacher or boss

hand shake is not salutation bt itz fullfill the salutation. In ma realigeon nd culture shaking hand aftr "Assala-mu-alaikum" is a best atitude bt not compolsury.

If shaking hands is enough to make you're hair stand on end you probably want to stay away from France. la bise (Not sure what the English word is but its that double cheek kiss thing) is almost as common as hand shaking.
