CULTURE & CUSTOMS
In China, locals aren’t bothered by the closeness of others when traveling on public transport. Some locals may walk straight at tourists and cut them off or even bump into them. They will also walk or stand very close behind other people. Chinese tend to order an excessive amount of food when you dine with locals and they do not expect that the food will be finished as too much food is a sign of prosperity for them. It is also customary to call out loud a waiter or waitress to catch their attention, especially because Chinese restaurants are often crowded.
