Hi Tina,
I'm so excited to see you too! I'm sure you’ll have a great time in Shanghai.
I'm happy to give you some advice. In China, we usually take a small gift for the host too. Some flowers or fruit, or perhaps something nice from your hometown would be a good idea. There are several table manners to be aware of! Always wait to be seated, and don’t start to eat before the elderly. Don't point with your chopsticks or stick them in your rice. And be sure to always praise the food and chef! It will be fun talking with people here. But when making conversation, don't talk
about personal or sensitive topics. You could talk about your hobbies and the food at home, for example.
Don't worry about giving a false impression. Chinese people are very aware and understanding of cultural differences. Let me know how it goes. I'm excited to hear about it!
See you soon!
Yaming
