Greeting is a huge deal here. And when Zambians greet, they pretty much always shake hands. A few days ago, for dinner, there was no nshima, and I was shocked. Yes, I eat with my hands. However, both men and women keep their hands cupped so when they clap it makes an air-pocket.

Women may lower their body briefly, kneel or curtsy whilst shaking hands out of respect. Men may go down on one knee. Family and friends may hug and pat one another on the back.
