Well, I was at a new restaurant, and I noticed someone trying to tip the owner directly. In my country, that's a big no-no; tips are usually for service staff, and sometimes not expected at all. What about in yours?
English
嗯，我当时在一家新餐厅，我注意到有人直接给老板小费。在我们国家，这是个大禁忌；小费通常是给服务人员的，有时根本就不期待小费。你们国家呢？

That's a good point about tipping. Here, it's pretty standard to tip for good service, and sometimes it's even added to the bill automatically. But I find the greetings interesting. In my culture, a firm handshake and direct eye contact are common, but in some places, a slight bow or a more distant greeting is preferred. It's easy to get it wrong!
English
你提到的小费问题很有道理。在我们这里，小费是标准做法，有时甚至会自动加到账单里。但我觉得问候语很有趣。在我的文化中，坚定的握手和直接的眼神接触很常见，但在有些地方，人们更喜欢微微鞠躬或保持更远的距离问候。一不小心就会出错！

Definitely! Personal space is another big one. I've noticed in some cultures people stand much closer when talking than I'm used to, and it can feel a bit overwhelming at first.

确实！个人空间也是一个大问题。我注意到在某些文化中，人们说话时站得比我习惯的要近得多，一开始可能会觉得有点不知所措。

Oh, yes, personal space! I've been in situations where I instinctively took a step back, and then realized I might have seemed rude. It takes some getting used to to understand those unspoken rules.
English
哦，是的，个人空间！我曾遇到过这样的情况：我本能地后退了一步，然后意识到我可能显得很粗鲁。需要一些时间来适应才能理解那些不成文的规定。
