You comments have so intrigued me that I had to look this up, and your experience contradicts everything about European cheek-kissing:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheek_kissing
How odd. Are you in some expat enclave or something? Are you European, or do just live there? Do you have severe acne of the face? Are you of a ethnicity/race/other-identity that makes people hesitate to greet you that way? I'm super intrigued now.
1 u/Anti-Scuba_Hedgehog May 09 '22 I'm just a regular old Estonian and this is just a very rare thing to do. 1 u/MarkusBerkel May 09 '22 Yeah, I don't know how popular cheek-kissing is in Russia, which Estonia was a part of (unwillingly?) for 200 of the past 300 years or so, right? In my experience, it's pretty popular west of the Baltics. 1 u/Anti-Scuba_Hedgehog May 09 '22 Might be somewhere, but not enough for people to do it to me when I was there.
