Could you give me some advice? Should I bring a gift? In America we usually bring the host something small, like food. Is that a good idea? Also, what are the right table manners? What are some good conversation topics in China? Is there anything else I should know? I’m worried about doing something silly. It could give people the false impression that I’m a rude person.

I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon!
