HUIZI talk About chinese-western culture
2008-07-02 20:55:55
Jiali talk About chinese-western cultureI must put in a few wordsabout my experience here in chinese,If i have dinner with a chinese host , healways press more food onto my plate as soon as i have emptied it of the previous helping. That often makes me feel very awkwared. I have to eat the food even if don't feel like it, because it is considered bad manners in the west to leave one's food on the plate.Ihave also noticed that when a chinese sits at an American party, he very often refuses the offer of food or drink though he is fact still hungry or thirsty.This might be good manners in china, but it is impolite to keep asking someone again and again or press something on him .Americans are very direct .If they mant something, they will ask for it.If not, they will say,"No,thinks".Eating is always a learning experience in a new culture. -

about informal calls
2008-07-03 12:43:43
Some friends are just like family .There is no need to make formal arrangements for a visit.Except for these very close friends and relatives, makeing unexpected calls should be avoided as much as possible . The unexpected guest is welcomed, but whether that welcome is sincere or given out of kindness is another matter.practically everyone has his own plane as to how to spend his time, and it is often perplexing,if not annoying, to be obliged to change one's plans by unexpexted visitors.when someone invites you to drop by anytime, they reallymean first to make sure the time is convenient!
