Its a Bavaria - Italo thing, very similar to the 'kerchiefs in back pockets. They type of handshake corresponds to the type of 'relationship' you will be having

The French seem to shake hands when they first see you in the morning. Seems to be a cultural thing over there.

A firm handshake every time we meet
Keeping with the German theme, I'm wondering if this is a Bavaria only thing or not. The chap in the office next door to me, half Italian / half German, insists on a firm handshake every time me meet. I'm not talking about a casual one either, but the upright vertical sort as if we're a band of brothers. A very nice chap all the same.Tags: None
