surfers do that greeting here laconic1. I guess younger college types do too.
Also, I just remembered that some people also do the one kiss on one cheek thing here too. This usually comes from people from a posh area of town, it's just soooo posh to do, if you get my meaning.
It also means many people who are greeting these 'posh' people are stupidly left hanging for the second kiss :\
I hate this and always make them give me the 2nd one, which usually makes them uncomfortable heh.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
