The following excerpt from the article, Sweden female reporter Katrina book "blond Pitt glance China."
With China's opening degree of constantly increasing, more and more international friends to come to China to work, study, travel, in their eyes, China has extraordinary charisma, East-West cultural differences make their view of China's unique perspective anomaly.
Perhaps this is a cultural difference? I have heard people say that, like many Asians such hospitality, hope一眨眼的工夫there are many people who provide services. I think that some too exaggerated, I think this scene quite ridiculous.
Too courteous attendants
Just Sweden to China, a matter that the husband and I can not understand, and this is the way attendants credited menu. No matter what time you went into a Chinese restaurant, Attendants Association and holding the menu approaching, standing next to you, like you about 40 seconds of time will be able to read the whole menu, and then can begin ordering the like. If in Sweden, you can spend a good long look at the menu, and then had selected their favorite dishes. You normally sold in the restaurants is what vegetables only a rough understanding, and in most cases impossible to know in advance what the point of vegetables.
There is one thing I still have not fully engage understand, and that is why the Chinese people seem to think quickly finished thing. If they were sitting in餐桌边, they would say, "Chi Chi Chi."倒酒, they will say "来来来." You shops, service personnel will soon appear in front of you.
All this for many Westerners find it very strange. They think that such people feel less than relaxed, but bear with invisible pressure. Do you into a小铺had intended to casually look at, a saleswoman with it step by step with you. Although his purpose is to help you, but in normal circumstances we think it is not necessary. Sometimes a customer is obviously not undecided what to buy, he would like to take a look at. If you have someone next to you to feel a little uncomfortable. Like someone tracking you, pay attention to your every move. In Beijing, I have seen many similar situations: there is a Westerner into a shop, the saleswoman suddenly jumped out in front of the customers, and will then follow his or her death look in the shops everywhere. In this case, that customers can not stay long will usually leave.
When we go to restaurants to eat, but also the total number of the waitresses stood next to our table. You drank a wine in their glasses, they will immediately run up to the cup斟满. And, from time to time they came from盛菜disk yard Remove dish, and then placed on each of us a small plate or small bowl. Perhaps this is a cultural difference? I have heard people say that, like many Asians such hospitality, hope一眨眼的工夫there are many people who provide services. I think that some too exaggerated, I think this scene quite ridiculous.
This phenomenon also in other places, such as in the gym. When you all kinds of fitness equipment in the exercise, there was always there. First, scrub or cleaning equipment to clean, and then for you to replace equipment, even you had not had time to think about whether they need to replace that equipment. I, and many other Westerners are hoping to slightly relaxed some.
