What time should you arrive? What should you do when you get there? Glad you asked. When youre the guest, you should just make yourself at home. Thats what hospitality is all about: making people feel at home when theyre not.
一位美国朋友邀请你去他家。你以前从未去过美国人的家，你不确定该怎么做。该带一个礼物吗?该怎么穿?该几点到?到了那里该做什么?很高兴你发问。你若是客人，只要使自己感到自在就好了.待客之道就是这样：虽然不是在家里，却使客人有宾至如归之感。
