Okay, they concentrate on a lot of things Donald Trump lately, but history has shown he's not keen on doing this the way his predecessors have done.

I'm glad they've achknowledged a few possibilities why he might have not taken her hand, and then there's he might have been so entranced in the media presence.

Still, the more important thing would be about what they've spoken and what it means.

Shake hands after.

What is Putin's game?

BBC NEWS Europe: One of those articles my boss likes, because it's very conspiracy theory-esque. Still, it's quite probable in my view due to that Medvedev is where his is as president of Russia because of Putin.

Foreign financers feel they need no license to thrill on Japanese roads

Mainichi Daily News: "At first, the February car crash in Tokyo's exclusive Minato-ku only seemed out of the ordinary because it involved a black Maserati slamming into a taxi, but it has turned out to be very special indeed."

My opinion on this is simply that being so cavalier about other countries' laws is one of the myriad of reasons why the international community can be so mistrustful of foreigners. If you go to the country and it's a simple law like "renew your visa certain months before its expiry" or "go to such a place to renew your driving licence," do so.

Granted, the visa one isn't so simple. Neither are some traffic laws, but if what they say is true, then this dodging is not so nice.

Principal reasons behind not following through seem to be because "I didn't feel like it," and I've never been one to agree with "I didn't feel like it."

Buck up and be responsible.
