In Western Countries people like to hug, and in oriental countries people like to bow.If we combined hug & bow together, then when shall we hug and when shall we bow?

Not all Asian (not "oriental") cultures bow as a greeting. You would be committing an etiquette faux pas if you did. Many Asian countries shake hands in a professional environment. I'm pretty sure you would be safe doing that in both a professional or otherwise situation.

You would bow to people you are meeting for the first time and hug people who you already know.

anywhere in the world, whatever your body language be.........
bow in front of bigger people, in age, power, strength ,will, humanity, deeds
hug the people of your same age and younger.
