| Cultural Insight |
| Becky: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight. |
| Khalil: In Morocco, people usually shake hands when they meet. It is important to make sure that you offer the right hand and not the left one, as the left one is considered unclean and never used to shake hands or to eat. Family and close friends tend to also kiss each other on the cheeks. The number of times tends to vary, from 2 to 4 kisses. |
