Need to double check with the wife (Chinese) about half of the things we did during our ceremonies (eating) in China.
Things I remember:
- Very sensitive to how people sit around the table, specially if older people are present (the oldest person must seat facing South I think)
- Lear how to use chopstick well, practice, practice
- Is not polite (but acceptable) to refuse to drink the snake blood mixed with the chinese wine
- Need to check on the red envelops (hongbao)
In general I will say just go with the flow (is what I did), my wife's family is a very large one, we spend 10 days having lunch and dinners in different parts of China, great experiences, we where in towns where foreigners (guailo - foreign devils) are not that common.
I will post more after I talk with the wife
