[QUOTE=Mattyk72;576496]From what I understand it really depends on the culture. Bowing in many cultures is a sign or respect or even that of an apology. In some cultures yes it is a sign of subservience. The key is to know your audience.

On a related note, was W out of line when he held hands and touched cheeks with a Saudi prince?[/QUOTE]

I don't think it was a breach of protocol but it made me want to vomit all the same.
