Ibiganza Day

In Burundi, a greeting is never just hello. You clasp hands, you ask about the family, the children, the harvest, the cows, and then maybe you mention why you came. Skipping this protocol is the fastest way to lose a Burundian's respect and once lost it does not return. The handshake can last thirty seconds because rushing a greeting in Burundi is basically an insult.
