Dinner

Usually it starts at seven to eight in the evening, sometimes even later than nine o'clock.

The first hour of a dinner is usually a cocktail party, which is meant for guests to warm up and introduce each other, especially for a heterosexual friend who is at the same table with you.

If you do not know who is your deskmate, hurry up to see the table and prepare to wait for a topic that you may be talking about. Don't catch up with the familiar people.

Remind me that cocktail is very strong, so it's not good to drink too much.

After the cocktail party was over, the owner announced the banquet. Everyone had to walk to their seats. After the master said, "please sit down," the man helped the woman on the right side to push the chair and asked her to sit down first.

When everyone is seated, all the people will start.

The higher the right person is, the closer it is to the right side of the master's right side. In China, the hostess sits in the seat of the Lord, the hostess sits beside him, and the international banquet is in accordance with the Western custom. The hostess sits on the throne, the male host sits opposite to her, the male and female guests are also sitting in pairs.

The host of the East is used to congratulate on the meal, while the Western host waits until the main course. When the host is finished, everyone will stand up and raise the glass to celebrate.

At international banquet, you can only find people around you when you propose a toast. You can't go through the customs as a whole.

table

Avoid topics such as politics, vulgar jokes and value of goods. Don't ask people how much their Rolex watches are.

The most commonly used opening remarks of westerners are the weather, although boring, it is all right.

After the main course, there will be an hour of wine after dinner, and the men and women will gather at a certain point to speak freely.

The last part of the show is usually social dance. First the hostess asks a male guest to dance, then the guest comes in. You must dance with your partner before you invite others to jump, and you must first ask your partner for permission.

Social dance time usually goes to midnight. People who are accustomed to going to bed early need to be psychologically prepared to leave early.

For the sake of politeness, it is best to wait for a guest to say goodbye to your host and then leave.
