What is a handshake?

Japan

Meet - Japanese people say "Ohayo" "Konnichiwa" or "Konbawa" depending on the time of day. 

Departsayounara means goodbye for a long time. Jaa ne means by more casually.

Accept a gift - The gifts quality is based off of the outside or the wrapping of the gift. 

Share business cards - An essential part of Japanese business etiquette and they give them the card after bowing to the other person. Giving them the card holding two hands shows great respect.  

Italy

Meet
 - Italians say "Buongiorno" for good morning, "Buon pomeriggio" for good afternoon, and "Buonasera" for good evening.

Depart - Arrivederci means goodbye.

Accept a gift - Wrapping a gift in purple symbolizes bad luck and is the color of death.

Share business cards - Present business cards before meeting and give to them by holding with both hands.


Australia
