In Brazil, it is generally handshakes or hugs between men, and 2 or 3 kisses on the cheek between a man and a woman, or between two women. This includes the first time you meet someone.
Which reminds me of the first time I came to live in the US, as a high school student. I remember being introduced to this girl and leaning in to kiss her cheek, but she wasn't expecting it and turned to face me, so I ended up kissing her on the lips. As there were other people around it was initially very awkward, but it led to interesting outcomes later on. Nothing appearing confident because you don't know you are potentially making a fool of yourself.
