In the first episode, the speaker talked about the arrival at the restaurant and some tips. This is a short essay on how to act in china and how their culture is different from the culture of the united states. Most banquets are at the private rooms with their own individual names so it is important to know the name of the room if you are arriving alone. When the host greets you, you should smile and make eye contact; also using a little chinese as a foreigner would get you points or on the good side of the host. When the host asks you to sit down, you should wait until the host sits down first.
