One question for anyone who is familiar with Taiwan,
[quote]Is the traditional greeting gesture a bow or a handshake?[/quote]
If it's the latter, these folks are going to get some awkward refusals to shake hands when meeting people.
Other things that I am unclear of even after reading the article.
It didn't specify whether or not those who "deliver this special service" need to meet any specific criteria. Though it did mention;[quote]the group of 10 people actually giving the handjobs—come from varied backgrounds; some are gay, some are straight, some are disabled, some are PhD students, some are social campaigners and some work in the media.[/quote]
The image in the article (above) shows 3 male "Hand Angels" assisting a client into/out of his wheelchair. Are the volunteers for this additional task going to be of a specific sex or would that be discriminatory? Does the client get to request a specific person, or not?
Also, what about disabled female clients?
