Journal 41 – Men and women behave with one another

I Poland, different than in the USA, is necessary for a man to open a door for a woman.
If a man welcomes with friends by handshaking, he should handshake a woman hand first. If he behaves differently, he misbehaves. Still, many men kiss women hands. It isn’t obligate, especially among a young generation colleague, but it usually is an evidence of good manners. We can see, how before of the meeting the Polish Minister council, Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski kisses women’s hands. When the Polish president, Lech Kaczynski, visited Germany and met the German chancellor, Angela Markel, he kissed her hand.
