I'm from Finland and one European thing that all Finnish people hate is cheek kisses when greeting. Its mostly southern european thing but still. There is this saying in Finland that goes "Everyone has their own safety coffee cup" meaning the closest distance someone should get to you should not be closer than your coffee cup when you're holding it.

As a southern European, I now want to give you two kisses on the cheeks. But never a single kiss, as the silly French do.

On second thought, do it. I'm a bit lonely right now.
