Question

 How do French people greet each other? Does it change across gender, regional, and professional lines? 

2- When did "la bise" begin and how did it evolve into a specifically French cultural practice? 

3- Do you think that foreigners (tourists, exchange students, expats...) would have any issues adapting this practice and applying it in their attempt to integrate French culture? Would Americans have any problems while in France? 

4- Is "la bise" a typically French thing after all, or are there other cultures that greet in a similar manner?
