Try to learn some frases for saying hello and asking how the other person is doing. It'll be appreicated. Men shake hands with men, but not men and women. Women hug other women or just shake hands. Three kisses on the cheeks for being extra friendly. Trying a little extra to be polite will get you better prices in shops and more friends.
