What's the proper way to greet people there, Jenny?

Well, British people say "hello" or "nice to meet you" and shake your hand when they meet you for the first time.

呃，英国人第一次见到你时，他们说“你好”或“见到你很高兴”，并握手。

Do they greet people with a kiss?

How do people start a conversation?

Do people there behave politely in public?
