Someone should really standardise the number of kisses you give when greeting people in Europe. I mean it is fair enough for different countries to do different numbers; German, Dutch and Swiss people do three, British and Russian people do two and Polish people only do one kiss, but different regions of different countries vary too. In Marseilles apparently they do four kisses while here in Cannes they just do two!
How are people meant to know how many kisses to do if you don't know where the other party is from? Also if you do know where they are from but it is a different place to you, how is it decided which party alters their kissing number? What if they both alter? What if both assume the other will?
It could save a lot of awkwardness is all I'm saying.
*ahem*
