Culture shocked in China as an American (3 differences China Vs. USA)

Culture shocked in China as an American. I was shocked to learn about Chinese culture. it is very different from the culture in the states and i share three things that were very interesting and shocking to someone that grew up in good old Michigan, USA.

One more: women holding hands walking down the street, in China it's just a sign of friendship, in the west people probably think they must be gays in love with each other.

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about Chinese traditions & cultures.

I love Chinese culture and history but the visa fees for US citizens are CRIMINAL! $200 for 30 days. :(.

Everyone in the country (國家/ nation family) is a member of the family - hence, the familial titles.

1. Just pretending to pay the bill.
😅 ‘Hui..Luckily I lost’
2. Call elder ‘Uncle’ is a norm in Asian countries. A respect.
3. Holding gf bag. Maybe only in China. Other Asian countries, seldom seen.

😅 how true?

[@medialcanthus9681]

How about secretly going to the counter earlier to settle the bill? Would that be rude like looking down that the other party can't afford ?
