Making the Most of a Chinese Banquet
| ✓ | Pace yourself — there’ll be more food than you can imagine. |
| ✓ | Keep your alcohol consumption in check. Drinking with your hosts gives them more face (see Chapter 11), but don’t try to go drink for drink with the Chinese — some of them are world-class drinkers. |
| ✓ | Use chopsticks to win points with your host (see Chapter 16). |
| ✓ | Follow your host and let him or her guide you through the dinner. |
| ✓ | Have some fun. Don’t expect to talk about business. |
