Differences in eating culture

Different cultures between China and western countries. Our school wanted us to understand the western counties’ cultures. So let us to go to the foreign restaurant with Grade 12 students.
Our class was divided into 3 groups. First group went to the Mexico restaurant. The second group went to the Swiss restaurant. We were the third group, and we went to the American restaurant. On December 28th,2008. We went to the restaurant was called “Lucky star” It translates in Chinese is 乐宜达. When we into the restaurant, we saw different composition from Chinese. And on the table, there were forks and knifes. No chopsticks. Waiter took the menu to us. We looked through the menu, and then ordered the food that we like. I chose the traditional hamburgers and the vegetable salad. The tasty was ok. We all could accept the food. But in many ways, they added the lettuce in the food. As a Chinese, we also boil the vegetables and meat, then we can eat securely. It is the difference between the two countries. And another one is American like’s eats sweet food. For example, they put cheese on the salad or pizza. It is a big reason why foreigners are fatter than Chinese.
We ate the dinner in “lucky star” from 6:30P.M. To 8:00P.M. Later, we settled accounts with this restaurant and took photos in there. Chatted a few minutes, we all went away.
This experience made us know many manners in the foreign restaurant. It was good for us when we go the Canada or other countries. Use right manners to eat in the restaurant. It is very important.
