In many parts of New Zealand the hongi is a pretty normal greeting,
between friends on the streets, family members or team mates after a
big game, filling the same function as a handshake. But the gesture

home. A distinctively kiwi greeting. Have you experienced a hongi?

the standard greeting in your area?
