The usual rule for most wai is bring your hands up to your face with the top of the thumbs at nose level. Then bow a little. If I was you, I would just smile and nod if you don't know the people. But, if they wai you first then wai them back in the same way. Never do it quickly. Always slowly. Also, if you are meeting someone you know you should show respect or you know are important then wai them first.
