Different countries have different table manners. Learning them can help us behave properly when we travel or cat with foreign friends.
In Japan, it's polite to say "itadakimasu" before eating, which means "I'm grateful for this food". You should not stick your chopsticks upright in the rice bowl, because this is a symbol of death in Japanese culture. Also, it's rude to point at others with chopsticks.

In Mexico, whenever you see someone who's eating, even a stranger, it's good manners to say “provecho”, which means enjoy.
