At Chinese meal times, Chinese people use a round or square table. Person of most importance would usually take seat farthest away from door whilst youngest or person of least importance would take seat closest to door.

However, if you are host, usually you would take seat which is closest to walkway since it allows most convenient movement by host.

Unlike western style, Chinese people do not use forks and knives. We use a pair of chopsticks and spoons. Unlike Japanese chopsticks, Chinese chopsticks have both ends of same size whilst Japanese ones have one end sharper than other.

There are several things to remember when you use chopsticks.

- Don't dig in food on a plate but just get piece which you want to get - Don't pick one piece then drop it back in plate and change to another piece - Don't let your chopsticks be covered with food juice or residue - Don't use chopsticks to beat any utensils to make any noise - Don't wave your chopsticks - Don't use chopsticks like forks - Don't use chopsticks as toothpicks - Don't lick or suck your chopsticks - Don't put chopsticks vertically in rice in a bowl since it resembles incense sticks for dead

Clubs are now springing up all over America and different clubs have different offerings so it is easy to find one that suits you. Most clubs offer a coffee of month and/or your choice of flavors. With flavors you can choose what coffee you want delivered each month, or allow company to surprise you. Depending on club, it could be your favorite flavor, or a different flavor every month. Amounts vary from company to company also. Usually it is one pound per month, but you can order more if you desire.
