I found it embarrassing and it made me self conscious. When I worked in Jamaica
I noticed that it was common for people of both sexes to keep holding after
shaking hands. (And I am sure that there is a hierarchy to how it is done. Maybe
Sven could comment. I notice that he is posting again. Hi Sven) I got used to it
after a while but it still makes me self conscious thanks to a Calvinistic
upbringing. 
Ah! Well. It is the differences that make life interesting.
