Dear Terry,

Great to hear you’re visiting a Chinese friend’s house! Here are some tips:

  1. Arrival Time: It’s polite to arrive on time. If you’re running late, a quick call to your host is appreciated.

  2. Gifts: Bringing a gift like tea, fruits, or something from your country shows thoughtfulness. Avoid sharp objects as gifts because they can symbolize cutting ties.

  3. Dining Etiquette: Wait for the host to offer you a seat and try a bit of every dish. Remember, placing chopsticks vertically in rice is a taboo, resembling incense sticks at funerals.

Also, offering to help clean up after the meal can be a nice gesture, showing your gratitude and respect for the hospitality.

Enjoy your visit and the wonderful opportunity to immerse yourself in Chinese customs!

Best,
Li Hua

Dear Terry,

I’m happy you’re going to visit a friend in China! Here’s some advice:

  1. Arrival Time: Try to get there on time. If you’re late, call your friend to let them know.

  2. Gifts: It’s nice to bring a small gift, like tea, fruits, or something special from your place. It shows you care.

  3. Eating Together: Wait to see where your friend wants you to sit. Try a little of every dish. Don’t put your chopsticks standing up in your rice because it’s bad luck.

Also, saying thanks for the meal shows good manners. Enjoy your time and the new experiences!

Best wishes,
Li Hua
