Different countries have different customs. So we often say, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” Here are some things that may help you.
In South Korea, you should bow when you meet someone. In the US, people shake hands when meeting each other.
In China, restaurants are often lively places, where people talk and laugh freely. However, in many Western countries, restaurants are quiet places. Paying the bill is also different from country to country. In China, one person usually pays for everyone. In Western countries, if friends eat together, they usually share the bill. This is called “Go Dutch”.
In some Western countries, people usually eat lunch around 1 p.m. and eat dinner around 7 p.m. In Spain, it is common to have lunch around 3 p.m. and have dinner around 10 p.m.
People from Western countries usually use knives and forks to eat food. As for soup, they usually use spoons.
If you are going to have dinner in a Western family, arrive on time. It’s better for you to prepare a gift. Sit on the left side and put the napkin on your legs.
