Different countries have different ways of greeting people. Some countries kiss each cheek, kiss the lips, or bow. In the United States the greeting most people use is the wave. A wave signifies a greeting of Hello, a respectful greeting. People greet others to be respectful, make friends, be nice, suck up, and so on. When you great a person your asking for communication.
However in the united states the other main greeting is the raising of ones middle finger. This is the opposite of being nice or wanting to engage in communcation. However, flipping one the bird means anger or fustration.

You dwell and like crap, being polite is not one of your familiar traits, it is only about being in love and granting electricity some flavor and regional humor. It is a custom because many liked the turked sitting in the table as a new food group, and you became accostumed to passing the salt and say thank you while thinking "fucq off bitche" smiling with barely any appreciative attitude yet some love affliction and caress.
That is a proper custom, some people from afar will care for honesty and yell a "hola" with pleased insolency, which I have to mention as more an efficient way of communication and conduct, something unapreciative englishmen such as yourself came to ignore and blasphem about. Any new feelings, I think not.

Traditionaly, the person visiting the foriegn country must exercise their customary greeting.
But if the person is an official the host should greet the visitor in their custom.
In the U.S. a firm handshake is the norm. As to why..that's open to opinion.

Think about it. What if your friend just ran into your house and helped herself to your fridge, then sat down on your couch and started watching your T. V. ? Not very nice, is it?
Saying a "hello" is at least letting someone know you are there. Not to mention it would make for something strange if someone just walked into someone in the street and started talking. Saying hello makes sure one has another's attention.
