1. In the summer, men go with a bare belly.
As soon as it gets hot in Chinese cities, the men lift up their T-shirts and present their sweaty hot belly to the court of others.
If a Chinese is wearing a T-shirt or T-shirt, he will definitely pull it up and open his stomach. And he will walk to stroke and scratch him. I saw many times that shirts were also bullied. Why then do not remove the shirt completely? Well pizhzhe, apparently.
Moreover, a Chinese friend can come to me, see that I am not wearing a T-shirt, say something like “let me help you”, lift up my T-shirt and make a happy face - “now, now it's order, it's hot, why are you?”
2. Eat everything - only bones remain.
When my wife in Guangzhou dragged me to a very famous Chinese cafe to eat "seafood", I could not imagine that their signature dish was fish skin. It is thanks to this dish that they became famous. Fried fish skin with onions.
Duck heads. Uhhh fuck, how not to crunch a duck head, but with a beak, but with brains and eyes. Some of them just eat them completely, with bones.
Stomach. They especially like to look at the pattern of a cow stomach turned inside out - it is beautifully considered. Color: white - from mixed feed, black - from meadow grass - there is a pancake, gourmets.
Guts, brains, chicken paws (kids love to crunch, are sold in individual packages), fat, eyes, lungs, skin from the head of a cow. When I eat in China, it seems to me that the unfortunate animal was just blown to hell, they collected all the scraps and made an “awesome” dish of them.
3. Do not greet the hand.
I'll tell you right away how a foreigner will shake your hand. But among themselves it is simply not customary to greet the hand. People come to the office, they won't even say hello to their colleagues, they just started working.
Generally speaking “nihao” is usually accepted by a person who has not been seen for a long time, or to unfamiliar people. And say goodbye - only if you obviously do not see each other for a long time. If you left work in the evening, and come back in the morning, is it considered that you have not gone anywhere, what are you doing? Idiot, or what? See each other yesterday.
4. Friends don't say thank you.
It is not accepted to thank the person whom you consider to be a friend. Especially for insignificant requests. It can even be offended - like what are you doing, thanks to me, I said, I am not your friend, is it?
To make it easier to understand, it’s all the same when suddenly they started to turn to their friend on “you” in full earnest - it would be strange to look. He thinks you have a mess, or are you kidding me, or the joke is so stupid. That's the same thing to say "thank you" to a Chinese friend.
I'm on the machine thanks sometimes say. One time my friend invited me to dinner, and it turns out that she too often said thanks. At dinner, there was a long and serious conversation - what happened, why did you constantly, systematically and obviously expressly say “thank you” to me? Are you offended by me? We are not friends?
5. Business cards and money are served with two hands.
In deference, a business card will be served with two hands. And money (change, for example) - too. Papers, bills, and so on, too. If at the meeting the Chinese give the Chinese their business card with one hand, it can be perceived as disrespect.
This does not apply to the money that you give on the surrender in small shops and eateries.
6. Attitude to small denominations
Only the largest denomination is respected - 100 yuan. All the rest is such garbage practically, candy wrappers. In a small shop in the area, money is kept in a basin or box - they are simply thrown there, not counting. In small cafes the same.
So he will get a couple of dozen crumpled bills out of a wash from the basin, he will find a dozen out there, as if pulled out of an ass, and just throw on the counter, like on, take your trifle.
Many of them do not even keep them in their wallets - they shove them into their pockets, crumple them up, get a bunch of them, choose the right one. I repeat once again - a bill of 100 yuan will be neatly folded and stored separately and neatly.
7. In small stores there are no price tags.
Going into a small store "at home", where drinks, cigarettes, chocolates - you will not see the price tags. The seller simply remembers the price of all goods. He also thinks usually in the mind. Yes, and buyers remember how much it costs. I took a can of cola - it costs 2.5-3 yuan for three years, the price does not change, why do you need a price tag, ale?
On cigarettes, price tags are almost everywhere. Larger stores have all the price tags, as a rule.
