“In my country, men usually go to restaurants on their own．They always take their shoes off before they go in．Then they usually sit on the floor around a small, low table．In the evening they often sing songs．”

　　“You usually take chocolates or flowers．But you always take an odd number of flowers, and you remove the paper before you give them to the hostess．You can also send flowers before you arrive．you don’t usually take wine except when you visit very close friends．”

　　“We always offer our guests something to drink when they arrive, tea, coffee or perhaps water or soft drinks．We think it is polite to accept a drink even if you’re not thirsty．If you visit someone you always stay for a few drinks．When you have had enough to drink, you tap your cup or put your hand over it．If you say no, your host will insist that you have more to drink．”

　　“People’s private lives are very important so they never ask you personal questions about your family or where you live or your job．They never talk about religion or matters of finance, education or politics, but usually stay with safe subjects like the weather, films, plays, books and restaurants．”

　　“It’s difficult to know when to leave, but an evening meal usually lasts about three or four hours．When the host serves coffee, this is sometimes a sign that the evening is nearly over, but you can have as much coffee as you want．”

　　“If the invitation says eight o’clock then we arrive exactly at eight．With friends we know well, we sometimes arrive about fifteen minutes before．”

　　“Obviously it depends on the occasion, but most dinner parties are informal．The men don’t usually wear a suit, but they may wear a jacket and tie．Women are usually smart but casual．”
