This is especially true in the business world. Americans often use first names upon meeting a stranger and do not always shake hands. They often just smile and say “Hi” or “Hello”, rather than using a more formal handshake. It is good to remember that to an American such a relaxed greeting really means the same thing as a more official handshake somewhere else. In a similar way, Americans do not usually give a special “good-bye” or shake hands to each person when they leave a party or business meeting. They will often just wave good-bye to the whole group and perhaps say, “Well, so long everybody, Ill see you tomorrow.” They then will leave. No handshakes.Americans seem either totally hurried and hard-working or totally relaxed and at ease. Often you will see men working at office desks without their chairs and even putting their feet up on the desk while they talk on the telephone. This is not meant to be offensive. Once Americans leave the busy streets, they are easy and relaxed.A visitor to the United States should, therefore, understand that being in a great hurry does not show unfriendliness, and being relaxed and being at ease does not show a lack of respect. Americans have a great range of customs and habits that at first may seem strange to a visitor. In time you will learn these new ways.1. What do many visitors think about the relaxed American style?
