Hospitality and guest We are getting along with people, always habits from his perspective for others. This shows up in hospitality and guest, conscientious guest always try not to bother master, don't let host cost money, thus to host hospitality always politely to decline. So, qualified master will not directly asked guests want something, but active ponder the customer's needs, and actively give satisfaction. On the table and hospitality of the host always give a guest good or not advised dishes. Therefore, Chinese hospitality and guest scenes often atmosphere: party kept telling, the other side is kept me. Foreigners are especially westerners, whether master or guest, everyone very frank, without formal. When the guest calls, master meeting flatly ask each other "anything to drink;" If the guest would like to have something to drink, can directly ask each other "what do you have to drink", and choose a favorite drink; If the guest is really don't want to drink, the guest will say "thank you! I don't want to drink". In table, the host asks the guest will not come again point, if the guests say enough, host general won't again to guest advised being wined and dined drink. Treat praise 4. We have always regarded modesty as a virtue. Whether for own ability or achievements, always like their modesty. If no such may be accused of "not condescension", "arrogance".
