What about a big elaborate bow and a respectful kiss on the hand?

Yes. This. ^Greetings are something I think should be written down as law so we all know where we stand and about 15647 awkward moments per life can be avoided.

Polish lads shake each other's hand everytime they meet, even if they saw one another just a short time ago. I'd be happy with a mandatory handshake, I think. Having attended several soirées in Paris, I can say with great certainty that the French way is ridiculous. Takes a bloody age to come in and go out.
You know that Curb Your Enthusiasm thing, 'stop n chats?' Well I reckon there are 'kiss n hugs' too, those awkward situations where you don't know whether to hug or kiss...
One of my best friends works with loads of European people so most of her friends at house parties etc are from Italy, France, Holland, etc etc - all those kissy countries. And they ALL kiss DIFFERENTLY!! Some do two kisses, some three. Some start on the left cheek, some on the right. But I cannot remember which country does which.
Plus none of them are remotely ugly. And they always kiss goodbye. I always, always get it wrong and sort of go to hug them then realise they want to kiss, then go for the wrong cheek, so nearly bump heads, then it gets all awkward....worst bit is when they go for a third kiss. Sake. It should be outlawed...grumble....
