1During my visit to Britain, I was taken to a restaurant by a British family.I put my knife and fork down while I was telling them a story. A waiter came and took my plate away! I found out later that putting your knife and fork down in the middle of the plate means “I've finished”.
2I visited my company's French office, and I was taken out for dinner. Soon after we sat down, a waiter came with some small dishes of food. I offered them to everyone at the table. Then one of the French people said to me, “Do you realise that's my food you're offering everyone?”
3I was asked to dinner by some Chinese people I did business with. I was given some delicious food to start with, and after that, a bowl of water was put in front of me, with lemon in it. I picked up the spoon and began to drink it. I felt so stupid when I saw everyone trying not to laugh. It wasn't soup! I was drinking the water in my finger bowl!
