▲ 4 ▼ Handshake, hug and hongi: How do we greet people in 2026? (www.rnz.co.nz) submitted 9 months ago by BlueEther@no.lastname.nz to c/newzealand@lemmy.nz 3 comments fedilink hide all child comments This is interesting, I've always felt more or less uncomfortable with the 'hug' for workmates (female) unless I'm very comfortable with them. The first Time an elder pulled this skinny white guy in for a hongi - it felt strikingly right.
