The Most Unaccustomed

Winner: No need to tip

Nominations: Everyone rushed to say “it’s my treat today.”

Tipping varies among cultures and in some countries failing to give an adequate tip when one is expected would be considered very miserly or even a violation of etiquette. However, tipping is not something you need to worry about during your visit to China. If you still decide to leave a tip, like the change leftover after a meal, don’t mind the wooden expression of the waiter.

The Most Favorite Recreation

Winner: Karaoke

Nominations: Mahjong, Dou Di Zhu ( Fight the landlord, a popular card game in China)

In contrast with playing Mahjong and Dou Di Zhu, which need a bit of professional knowledge to follow the complicated rules, lending voice in the ubiquitous Karaoke Box is more acceptable for foreign travelers. No wonder currently so many foreigners sing Chinese popular songs with such clear articulation and a mellow tone

The Most Recognizable Part of a Chinese Beauty

Winner: Chinese eye (with single-fold eyelids and outer corners going up)

Nominations: Chinese shyness, good-natured personality

Big eyes and Roman nose? It’s absolutely not the criterion for foreigners to judge a Chinese beauty. Most of them still overtly obsessed with the unique Chinese eyes, considering the huge popularity of such Chinese American celebrities as Lucy Liu. Beauty can only be understood by the beholder.
