Find out below:
- PDA is prohibited. This is such a not sight to see for Chinese. Never touch a person of the opposite sex.
- As a sign of respect, the eldest must always come first over anything. You should be polite to older people and address them by their surnames preceded by Mister or Madam.
- If invited by a Chinese friend to go out, expect that you will be eating for free. The host will always pay the bill and in restaurants, it is offensive to leave a tip.
- Always leave your shows outside in any Chinese household.
- The chop sticks rules: don’t lick or drum it, putting them straight up to your rice is a bad luck, and put it down while making gestures.
- Take a bit of every single dish prepared for you but don’t leave a very clean plate as the host will think he haven’t ordered enough or too many left overs as they will think that you did not like the food.
- Clocks, umbrellas, scissors, knives (or anything else related to cutting) or anything comes in four (4) are not really good ideas to give as present to a Chines.
