Dear Tony,
You must be excited about coming to China soon. Let me give you some suggestions and advice about Chinese customs. When you are eating at the table, it’s impolite to stick your chopsticks into your food. You are not supposed to point at anyone with your chopsticks.
In our house, you’re supposed to shake hands with my father for the first time. You are not supposed to kiss when you meet my mother. You can say “nihao” to her with a big smile.
When you go out with people, you are expected to call first, it’s important to make plans to do something interesting or go somewhere together.
Have a safe trip, and I look forward to meeting you soon!
Best wishes,
