Dear Mary,
I hope you would come to visit China soon.The differences between good manners in China and in the West are sometimes great.Chinese people attach importance to good manners.There is no doubt that you should absorb some Chinese culture and know something about good manners in China.
The first I want to tell you is greeting.When you meet someone,you are supposed to stop and nod your head.You must shake your hands and smile all the time.
There are some differences between tipping systems in China and in the West .It’s unneceary to pay tips in China.You don\'t need to get confused.
Talking of table manners,you should say thanks if the host and hoste invite you to the dinners.Becouse of their hospitality,you had better tell them you really can’t eat more when you are full.
In my point of view,if you show your understand and respect,everyone will treat you as their old friends!
Yours,Li Ming
