When I enter a home that's not mine I am obligated to greet and not ignore the people in the home to show a sign of respect. Most of the people I greet are greeted  with a kiss on the cheek. It's important to show hospitality and make the ones we meet feel welcomed. For example, offering  drinks or food. Overall, respect is  important in any place regardless of where you come from.

Every Easter I make a sweet beans dessert with cookies which is a common tradition.
