How do you greet people?

Question

In greeting each other, Englishmen shake hands; Frenchmen in exalted moments embrace and kiss on both cheeks; a polite Austrian salutes a lady's hand with his lips; and Polynesians press noses. Each of these different codes of manners seems reasonable to those who practice it, but to those who do not, it is looked upon with amusement or ridicule.

I am a tango dancer, and I give women who dance tango a two-cheek kiss as is traditional.  I know this may be common among Argentinians and Uruguayans, but also among French and Quebecois.
