Kunik

Out of all the infamous "kisses" In the world, Today I experienced one that is now on the top of my list.
No..not this one...
umm..not quite this one either...:P

Here we go!
This Kiss is a traditional Inuit greeting called "Kunik" A Kunik is the pressing of "the nose and upper lip against the skin (commonly the cheeks or forehead) and breathing in."It's basically the equivalent of a kiss on the cheek to loved one in Western Society. I think it's a beautiful tradition and I will absorbe it into my future actions<3 ..but not in a creepy walk up and smell your face out of nowhere kind of way..haha..

p.s shout out! to Orange Coat!
