As an American I try to do the same thing as the Australians do when toasting. If you don't do the same for me you loose some respect points in my book. |

I burp all the time, slurp my noodles, and throw my crumbs on the floor. I'm not uncivilized, I'm cultured

*** Quiz spoiler ***
So I did the first question about asian parents making their kids eat everything on the plate. Yes, that is true. Kids are taught to be grateful for their food and for the hard work of their parents. To leave food on your plate is considerede wasteful and disrespectful to your parents.
The quiz says "No, cleaning your plate in China is considered rude." which is only applicable if you are the guest at a formal dinner!
Stupid quiz. |
