Hi everyone! I recently stayed with my Japanese friend, Satomi, in Tokyo. At mealtimes, everyone used chopsticks - and sometimes even their hands - to pick up food. In Britain, we eat nearly everything with a knife and fork. There are only a few types of food, such as bread, that we can eat with our hands. We try not to leave food on our plates, and in Japan this is rather rude, too. It's good manners to finish everything, down to the last grain of rice! It's OK to bring flowers as a gift to your host in Japan, same as in England, as long as they're not white, and you must take your shoes off outside the door.

I'm from Kazakhstan and here it's OK to eat with your hands. When we finish all our food, our host always gives us more. We leave some food to show that we are full and that our host gave us more than enough to eat. We never leave any bread, though. In Kazakhstan we also take off our shoes when we are visiting someone's home. Flowers are a good gift for the host, but you should always bring an odd number.

Hi! In Egypt, some of our rules are the same as yours, Nurlan. We also take off our shoes in someone's home, and we don't finish all the food on our plate. We use our right hand to eat. Giving gifts is good etiquette here, but we don't give flowers when we visit someone. Flowers are usually for weddings or the sick. Good gifts include sweets or pastries. And most important of all, we always give the gift with our right hand.
