China is a country of ceremonies. In social situations, we usually stand on ceremony with people who we don’t know. Although you should be natural and relaxed with your friends, you choose your behavior with care. For instance, when you go to your friend’s home, you should take some gifts there. Which kinds of gift should you give? We are very particular about the gift. We don’t need lots of kinds of gift for giving. But we absolutely never give clocks or shoes to friends. Because the meaning is that giving clocks is giving death, and giving the shoes is giving evil. I think you should take some candy or chocolate as a gift to your friend’s home, if your friends have children. If your friends don’t have any children, you can take some fruit there. Sure, you can take some medicine that is good for your health as a gift to your friend’s home. The gift is not expensive. It just expresses how pleased you are.
It is cool!
