The customs in different countries are rather different If I have dinner with a
Chinese host he always puts more food onto my plate as soon as I have emptied
it That often considered me greatly I have to eat the food even if I don't
want to because it is considered bad manners in the West to leave one's food on
the plate I have also notied that when a Chinese sits at an American's dinner
party he very often refuses the offer of food or drink though he is in fact
still hungry or thirsty This might be good manners in China but not in the West
yet
In the United States it is impolit to keep asking someone again or insist
on his accepting something Americans have i direct way of speaking If they
want something they will ask for it If not they will say "No thanks" When an
American is served with beer by the host for example he might say"No thanks I'll
take some Pepsi-Cola if you have it" That is what American will do So when you
go to the United States you had better remember the famous saying"When in Rome
do as the Rome"
