I look at the person with respect, then introduce myself first. We usually start the conversation by talking about the stunning natural landscapes, the local lifestyle, and the unique tourist attractions of the place.

Well, when I meet somebody for the first time, I say my name and ask for theirs. Then, maybe we can talk about our daily routines, family, hobbies, and so on. There are many things to talk about the first time.
