The Daily Travelers are concerned with etiquette this summer as we travel abroad, and it looks like others are, too. An article in Conde Nast Traveler's June issue shows us how not to embarrass ourselves in Italy, Turkey, Greece and Croatia, but what about France? What about those awkward kiss-kisses--and sometimes kiss-kiss-kisses? Just how many smooches should we plant on our French hosts' cheeks? This story on Gadling maps it out, literally, and gives us the basic rules for making those greetings a little less awkward.
Something the site doesn't mention that's important to remember, though: French kissing is something very different altogether. So don't do this.
