Guatemalan Culture

When you meet in Guatemalan culture people greet with a handshake and Mucho gusto (Pleased to meet you). Among acquaintances, the most common greetings are Buenos días (Good day), Buenas tardes (Good afternoon), and Buenas noches (Good evening). After an initial greeting, one might ask ¿Cómo está? (How are you?). Friends often greet with a casual Buenas, ¿Qué onda? (What are you doing?), or ¿Qué tal? (How's it going?). Shaking hands heartily is common in most areas. Among friends, men usually shake hands and sometimes embrace, and ladino women kiss each other on the cheek. A younger woman will kiss a male friend, but older women kiss only male relatives. Some older women greet by grasping the person just below each elbow.

My cultures is different from Guatemalan because in Russia when you meet you do mostly the same thing except in Russia you say it in Russian. But the grandparents don't do by grasping the person just below each elbow. So it is the same so have fun in Guatemalan.
