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? ** We may wish to use your comments in print. Please indicate if you're not comfortable with your words appearing the paper by including NFP at the end of your comment. Thank you. **
