[quote=SHESGOTTOBE,266385]I do not know about Chinese people in general since I don’t know all Chinese people. When I was in China and I dined out with my friend/friends, they would insist to pay for my meals. I know it is out of hospitality (and probably some “face” issue) but I also felt bad because I didn’t want to burden anyone just because I was there. They are far from being rich in the first place. As a tourist, I expected to pay for my meals. Add to that the fact that I love seafood and seafood costs more than the usual meals. And yes, when my friend noticed that I didn’t have enough on my plate, he would put some more using his own chopsticks, but I didn’t mind it, probably because in my country, close friends even share the same plate. They were even very attentive as to which kind of dish I like. Now I am in a dilemma because I really want to see them again when I go to Beijing but I am dreading that the same scenario will happen again, that they will pay for my meals again. *sigh* [/quote]
