Do people in your country hug and kiss on the street? In some countries, it is common for people to
show affection (喜爱) in public places. In the United States, for example, we often see couples hold hands,
hug or kiss on the street, in the park, in restaurants, and even on trains and buses! However, in some other
countries, people never show affection in public places because their customs don't allow this. For example,
in China and Korea, custom doesn't allow people to do so in public. So, when Chinese and Korean people
visit the United States, they often feel very surprised and shocked when they see Americans hug and kiss on
the street. In some countries friends show physical affection to each other.
In some South American countries, female (女性) friends walk arm in arm when they walk along the
street together. In Italy and Russia, male friends often kiss each other on both cheeks when they greet. In
most countries, men don't kiss or hug when they greet another. They usually shake hands or pat each other
on the back.
People around the world are different in amount, manner, and situations in which they touch each other.
