1、Dear Tom,Im very happy to hear that youre coming to China next week. Let me give you some suggestions and advice about Chinese customs and table manners.Remember, its important to be on time. Its impolite to show up at someones house for the first time with empty hands. Youd better bring a small gif
2、t. When you meet someone for,the first time, youre supposed to shake hands and greet each other. After that, you can talk about something relaxing. During the dinner, you shouldnt start eating first if there are older people at the table. We use chopsticks to have meals while you use knives and fork
3、s. Youre not expected to point at anyone with your chopsticks. Its impolite to stick your chopsticks into your food. Also,its bad manners to talk too much when you are having meals.,After having dinner, its polite to thank the host. Have a safe trip, and I look forward to meeting you soon! Best wishes, Li Ming,
