When I was doing research on British migration to Spain, l noticed that two British people meet there they tend to kiss each other on both cheeks, as the Spanish traditionally do. This had never been written in my field notes because I hadn't thought it important until I realised I had seen it happen a lot. I started to watch more closely and note down similar things. became aware that it is just the British migrants who do this and not the tourists, and that the migrants are more likely to do it when they are in the company of tourists.
