1--What Chinese customs of politeness are traditional?
2--I think you've heard this one before, you fight with a friend over the bill in a restaurant.
1--Yeah, that's a part of Chinese culture. You can see that in other cultures too, but not so much in American culture.
2--My friends and I sometimes split the cost equally instead of shouting, "let my pay! ...No, let me pay!"
1--In the U.S., it is common for people to split the bill after a meal. They call this habit "going Dutch". For example, after a meal, I would turn to you and say: "Let's go Dutch." Do you know any other polite customs related to eating or drinking?
2--In my hometown in Inner Mongolia, people like to drink a lot at mealtimes, especially when guests are over. If you visit me at my place, I'll try my best to get you as drunk as possible.
1--Really? That's very funny.
2--Yeah, that's our way of being polite. If you drink so much that you pass out at my place, you would make my parents very happy.
1--Very interesting.
2--I actually don't like it very much. It pleases the family but sometimes makes the guests feel uncomfortable.
