"Hello, how are you?"
Oh yes and in Southern africa (most probably other places as well) it is expected of you to extend you greeting to actually asking the person how they are doing, unlike the impersonal, unfriendly western "civilisation" approach of grunting a 'ello. This open greeting makes getting through borders a lot less painful.
Oh yes and be prapared to laugh at yourself and show a rack of teeth no matter the situation. It either shows you are a very happy or very dim person...either way it diffuses situations and opens more doors.
