Well, you may ask her why foreigners hug and kiss their family members. Many Chinese people also believe it is weird too. I am eager to know what she explains.

Just imagine when my chinese girlfriend will come to Spain first time and all the people around (my families, friends, coworkers, neighbours...) will try to kiss her in cheeks as we do to everybody when we are introduced.
