ks not easy to get used to another country’s customs, but before you visit a country, you'd better learn how to behave properly at table.

In China, it's rude to use your chopsticks to hit an empty bowl. And you are not supposed to point at anyone with your chopsticks. When you finish eating, place them on top of the bowl. And you should never stick your chopsticks into the food.

When in India, do as the Indians do. In India, you are expected to eat with your right hand. That's because Indians think the left hand is "dirty".  (When you shake hands with an Indian, you should also use your right hand. )

In France, you are not supposed to put your bread on your plate. Instead, you should put it on the table. And when you eat fruit, you should cut it up and eat it with a fork. In France, don’t eat anything With your hands except bread.
