Different Nations, Different Cultures

Each nation has its own customs and way of life. For example in some Asian countries, a guest takes off his shoes before entering a house. But this is not done in European countries, even if shoes sometimes become very muddy. A guest in a Chinese house never finishes a drink. He leaves a little to show that he has had enough. So does a guest in a Malay house. He always leaves a little food. In England, however, a guest a1ways finishes a drink to show that he has enjoyed it.

　In some Asian countries, such as China, people eat with chopsticks. In other countries, people pick up food with their fingers. In many parts of the wor1d, people sit on chairs at tables when they eat their meals. But in some parts of the world, such as Japan, most people sit on the floor to eat, rest on cushions, or squat on their heels. In many countries,' pork is a popular kind of meat.
