• The Basics
• keep the fingers together with the thumb up and
  open
• slide your hand into the other person's so that
  each person's web of skin between thumb and
  forefingers touches the other's
• squeeze firmly.
• Lets try.

A good handshake should i. be firm, but not
bone-crushing ii. Last for about 3 seconds iii.
have an Up-Down-Up-Down movement from the
elbow iv. be released after the handshake v. must
include good eye contact
You shouldnt touch your arm (like in korean).
But, it wouldnt be offensive if you did by
mistake.
