Hi Tina,
I’m so glad to hear from you! I can totally understand your excitement and a little nervousness before your home visit—let me share some useful advice to help you have a great time with the Zhaos.
First, about gifts. It’s polite to bring a small, thoughtful gift from America, like local snacks or a small souvenir. It shows your kindness, but remember not to give expensive gifts, as it may make the host feel uncomfortable. Second, table manners are really important in Chinese families. Wait for the elders to start eating first, and never stick your chopsticks upright in the rice bowl—it’s considered impolite. Also, praise the food loudly; the hosts will be very happy to hear that. Third, for conversation topics. You can talk about your life in the US, your hobbies, or your travel plans in China. Avoid asking private questions like age or income, and it’s nice to ask about their family, especially the son’s school life.
I’m sure you’ll get along well with the Zhaos and have a wonderful stay. Feel free to write to me if you have more questions!
Best wishes,
Yaming

Hi Tina,
So excited to get your email! Don’t worry about being nervous at all—let me tell you all the tips you need to rock your visit to the Zhaos’ home!
First, gifts: Bringing small American snacks or a cute souvenir is perfect! Chinese hosts love gifts that are full of your heart, not expensive ones. It’s the best way to show your friendliness right away. Second, table manners: Wait for the elders to start eating first, and never stick your chopsticks in the rice bowl. Also, don’t forget to say how delicious the food is—this will make the hosts super happy! Third, chat topics: Talk about your life in the US, your hobbies, or your trip plans in China. Just don’t ask private things like age or money. Asking about their son’s school life is always a safe and warm topic!
You’ll be amazing, I promise! If you have more questions, just send me an email anytime.
Cheers,
Yaming
