36. Case 1
An English guest: Each time a new dish arrived, his parents would lean over and load my plate with tasty morsels. As they had taken all the trouble to cook it, I just had to polish it off. As soon as my plate was empty, they would put more on. Of course, I felt duty-bound to eat that too.
A Chinese guest: Can you imagine how many dishes I had? Only one ——a stew with meat and vegetables. The meat was over done and too hard to eat; green vegetables were no longer green. They never put food on your plate but just ask you to help yourself. If you, as a guest, are shy or modest, waiting for the food to be put on your plate, you will remain half-starved.
Question: Are there any differences in hospitality between a Chinese and English? What are the reasons?

Bill had just arrived from the United States to study engineering at a Chinese university. In the first few days he met and moved in with his roommate Zemin. Over the next few days he noticed that female students on campus frequently walked arm-in-arm or even holding hands. He noticed, too, that students of both sexes, but especially the boys, would huddle around newspaper displays in a fashion of close contact. Bill felt rather uncomfortable and wondered how he would respond if one of his classmates were to put his arms around him…
Question: Why did Bill feel uncomfortable?
