If you visit a Chinese family, you should knock at the door first. When the door opens, you will not
move before the host says" Come in, please." After you come into the room, you would not sit down until
the host asks you to take a seat. When a cup of tea is put on a table before you or sent to your hand, you will say "thank you" and receive it with two hands, not one hand or they will think you are ill - mannered.
Before entering a house in Japan, it is a good manner to take off your shoes. In European countries, even
though shoes sometimes become very dirty, this is not done. In a Malay house, a visitor never finishes the
food on the table. He leaves a little to show that he has had enough. In England, a visitor always finishes
the drink or the food to show he has enjoyed it. That will make the host pleasant.
