In many Western cultures, men stand up before they are introduced to someone【12】. Standing up shows politeness and respect. After that, someone will usually "offer to shake hands. But in the East,【13】introductions often begin and end with bowing rather than shaking hands.

The proper customs for eye contact vary between cultures, too. Westerners appreciate regular eye contact during conversations.
