Dear Jane, Glad to hear from you and youre welcome to China in July. The following are some Chinese customs. Firstly, we greet each other by saying Hello or asking such questions as Where are you going? or Are you busy? to express our care. Secondly, when praised, we reply with Oh, no! or Im over-praised to show good manners. Next, when receiving a gift, we usually say Its unnecessary besides Thanks to show politeness and then put it away. Finally, at dinner parties, we talk loudly and touch glasses when drinking to someones health or success to show that were warm. Anyhow, different cultures, different customs. If you Do as the Romans do when in Rome, youll enjoy more of your stay here. I hope whats mentioned above might be helpful and wish you a good journey. Yours sincerely, Li Hua
