Dear Kate,
I'm glad to receive your email.Now I want to tell you something about the Chinese table manners. In China,we must wait until everyone is at the table.And when the dinner starts,the host doesn't eat every dish first.He waits for the guests and elders to eat first.We don't tap bowls with the chopsticks, which is considered impolite.We shouldn't reach across the table to get something to eat,because in that case, we may break or knock something over.Besides, we usually toast to the good health or success of the host and thank him for his treat.Hope to see you in China and everything goes well.
Yours,
Li Hui
