Flinging your business card to me across the table at a conference meal is not a greeting.

    You would like Asia then.

    Handing out business cards is an Art in Asia. We don’t fling it across the table, we actually give you the card with our two hands, face to face.

    Anything else is an insult.

      I have noticed that Asian business card etiquette is spreading to the U.S., and I do quite like it, you’re right. It is a pleasing little ritual.
