Hi Yaming,
One more week to go! I’m so excited to see you. I’ll meet the Zhaos as soon as l land in Shanghai. I’ll be staying with their family for two weeks, and I’m a little nervous! Mr and Mrs Zhao are both in their forties, and they have a son who is younger than me. His grandmother also lives with them.

Subject Home visit—Help needed!
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. First impressions are so important that I don’t want to say or do anything wrong!
I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon!
Cheers,
Tina
