two old women kissed me on the cheek once at different times, both caught me off guard, and it was super fast. According to the one, that's how French people say hi, and the other one was from Argentina, and she said that's how they say hi there too. I tried to avoid them from that day forward. Kissing to say hi is gross.

My mom said it was okay because their culture does that. My opinion is that It's not okay and should be stopped right away.
