Etiquette
In Germany, a handshake is used not only as a greeting, but also as a farewell gesture. Drinking is an important part in Germany as well. It's considered offensive to be even a few minutes late to an event or meeting. Flowers are expected to be brought to any social event at someone's home. Toasts at dinner parties occur often. When close friends greet each other, it is common to kiss both the left and right cheeks. Knocking before entering a room is always expected.
