Takeshi, that is really interesting. Being North American, I take having to shake hands for granted, and it dates back to time when shaking hands was done to show that you had no weapon(s) in your dominant hand (usually people are right hand dominant). So, a handshake is sort of an act of aggression.
Your culture bows. A sign of peace and respect.
I like that.
