Your visit to China will not be complete without that sumptuous Chinese meal which you can enjoy in restaurants or perhaps a friend’s house. Wherever the setting is, one rule is that you should not point your chopsticks directly at anyone. Furthermore, chopsticks must not be placed on a rice bowl in a way that it looks like it is in upright position because these will resemble incense sticks that are burned during funerals. Chopsticks must not be placed on any bowl during the meal. This you have to avoid. If you are done eating, place your chopsticks on the chopsticks rest beside your plate or bowl.
