International Student Experience Part 4: American Handshakes

Columbia Business School Orientation, January 2008

[@annierose8873]

As an American, I love this video! So true about everything.

[@porgy29]

The one edit I would make is with the last one. It is okay to actual throw your arm around pat the other guy on the back, often with a bit of a chest bump thrown in for good measure.

[@gskmck]

So very true-he nailed it!

[@Kecoroe]

LOLOL I was waiting for that last "hug." He could have explained that it's different for the ladies though XD

[@Downsight]

Yeah, as an American in the north I've only seen the first one, but damn that was funny.

[@lendir1]

Enjoying these vids, but is this place in the ghetto?

[@IsaacWebers]

haha, gotta teach keg stands to make it in America!

[@gokci]

hahahaha! I love this foreign guy lol

[@johnrayroberts]

this guy is funny

[@deltafour1212]

His hugging is right if its guy to guy but trust us ladies, no American guy will EVER EVER mind if a woman hugs him when greeting him. American woman hug each other all the time.

[@789mopedman]

Very funny stuff hahaha who dislikes this?

[@joshuagenes]

He forgot the friendly but not dating hug where a guy and a girl will bend toward each other to hug so there won't be too much chest touching and the Christian side hug. Both leave room for the Holy Spirit.

[@maehovland6222]

im guessing this is supposed to be comedy and not actually informative, but although it was really funny, I can say as an American that it's basically all wrong, at least from where I'm from (midwest). I give people real hugs all the time, and the clothing is maybe what we wore in 1990 but not anymore (hopefully) haha.

[@omeshii]

lol lovely

[@jaquiebr3885]

generalizations. But funny. Not all americans are like this. Some of the hugs look different

[@deltafour1212]

Just to let you kids know, don't dress like the American he is showing you . Majority of Americans hate it when people who wear their pants showing their damn underwear. Dress like the guy who's doing the presentation, you will get lot more respect.

[@Stellana]

True about the american hug. xD amoung guys anyway. Girls can hug. I wonder why?

[@Itshardtopronuncius]

the one dislike this video must be an American haha jk

[@kngiht84]

Especially when he is gay mwahahaha

[@nonyabuzness6457]

I think you must not get out much (at least among the under 35 crowd).
