Etiquette and common sense of traveling abroad

First, the personal etiquette of outbound travel

As we all know, although individual behavior cannot represent the whole, when you are far away from home and come to other countries as a stranger, others often regard you as the representative of the whole. We don't want to hear bad comments about China when traveling abroad, so we need everyone who goes abroad to maintain it, starting with personal etiquette, to maintain and establish a good image abroad, so as to be affirmed and welcomed by the world.

A tour guide who often takes tours abroad said that although the etiquette of China tourists is much better than in the past, some details still exist. Noise in public places is the biggest problem.

Five, the tipping etiquette of outbound tourism

When traveling abroad, you will encounter such a problem anytime and anywhere-the problem of tipping. Because the proportion of tipping is different in different countries and regions, there is a big gap. When you first arrive at a place, you should learn relevant information from experienced people in advance and study reasonable tipping methods with your peers. You should take it seriously with the attitude of doing as the Romans do, so as not to bring bad influence.

Six, western dining etiquette

(A), the basic etiquette when eating

1. Eat soup and chew quietly. This is the difference between people and animals.

Don't burp loudly in public.

Don't bump the cups and plates. Don't move the plates, and don't exchange meals with your companions.

4. Place the knife and fork gently, don't scratch.

Don't wave your knife and fork when you are talking, and don't point your knife and fork at people.

6. Don't bend down to eat. This is really pitiful and embarrassing.

7. Cut the food only in one bite and put it in your mouth, not just in half.

8. Don't look at the brand name at the bottom of the tray.

9. Every time you serve food, start with the outermost knife and fork.

10. Use the cup placed in the front right, and don't take other people's cups.

(2), the use of western tableware rules

Chinese tableware has only one pair of chopsticks, while western tableware is a whole row of dazzling array. Please relax. Although there are many dishes, only four dishes have been prepared. These four dishes are appetizers, soup, fish and meat, but the tableware is all set out together.

1. Knife and fork arrangement: the knives and forks are close together, and the blades are inward.

The arrangement of knives and forks is a signal to tell the waiter when to take the food away. If the knife and fork are placed on both sides of the plate, it means that you are still eating. On the contrary, when the knife and fork are placed in parallel, it means that you have finished eating. To put it another way, when eating in a popular restaurant, only a fork is used from beginning to end, and the plate is taken away, and the used knife and fork will remain on the table to continue eating the next dish. At this time, don't put the knife and fork directly on the table, but put the knife edge between the tines with the knife edge facing down.

Swing at rest

Using the double time pendulum method

There is only one set of tableware arrangement

When you finish eating, you can put the knife and fork together on the plate and keep the blade inward, which will not only make your desktop more tidy, but also facilitate the waiter to clean up the tableware.

2, public tableware: hands, more elegant.

When you eat in a restaurant, you will encounter some dishes or foods that are not cooked for one person, such as paella or big salad. For many people, this dish will be accompanied by a fork and a mother key. It is actually indecent to use only one hand to operate spoons and forks when holding vegetables. That's the skill of professional waiters, and ordinary people don't need to know it. On the contrary, it is more elegant to use both hands: the right spoon is at the bottom and the left fork is at the top. Put the food on the spoon, press it back with a fork, and then put it on your plate.

The right spoon and the left fork help each other.

When eating: the spoon and fork face the lower cover, and the spoon covers the fork.

After use: the spoon and fork are facing up, and the spoon is below.

Every time you finish taking it, remember to gather the food in the middle of the plate and point the handle of the fork and spoon at your partner, which will not only keep the plate beautiful, but also facilitate others to take it.

(3) How to eat food without tableware

Salty snacks can be taken directly by hand, and some foods can be eaten by hand without tableware, which is called grasping food by hand. Usually, such food is served before wine and dinner. The function of grasping food by hand is to fill the stomach and protect the gastric mucosa before drinking aperitif. In addition, people's blood sugar will drop when they are on an empty stomach, and eating something will calm their mood. The common salty snack is Canap? This is a small piece of thin bread or biscuit with ham, smoked fish and so on. Usually three pieces. Just eat it in your hand. Eat it all at once, don't just bite half, it's unsightly.

Grab the edge of the snack with one hand and two fingers. Bread must be buttered with a knife. Bread is basically peeled off by hand and then buttered. Grape bread and German brown bread are easily broken by peeling with hands. At this time, cut a piece of bread in half with a knife, and after all the bread is buttered, stutter directly by hand.

Peel the bread with both hands.

Rub cream on the knife.

(4) Should I use a knife and fork to eat pizza?

Pizza, like eating steamed buns, has no clear rules and can be played freely. But pizza is sticky, soft and unpalatable. How to eat without carelessness? Napoli pizza has a thick edge and a thin middle, so it is inconvenient to eat it directly by hand. You can cut off the triangular tip of the first half with a knife and eat it with a fork in a soft place. The rest of the hard place is easier to take and can be eaten directly by hand. American pizza is the most common thick-skinned pizza in Taiwan Province Province, and it is convenient to eat it directly by hand. Most pizzas use mozzarella cheese, which sticks to the cake and is difficult to break. Also, knives and forks are used to help organize? Tangled? .

Hold it with a handle or fork.

(5), napkin etiquette? Show one's cultural accomplishment

1, the correct use of napkins

Napkins are very important when eating, not only the first thing you will encounter when you sit down, but also the last thing you leave. Therefore, you can see your cultural accomplishment at the dinner table from the use of napkins.

● napkins are dirty things, don't be reluctant to use them.

● The correct usage of the napkin is to spread it out on the leg and fold it forward by one third to one half.

When wiping your mouth with a napkin, just pick up a corner of the napkin with one hand and gently press the corner of your mouth.

Press your lips with a napkin before drinking to avoid oil stains and lipstick leaving marks on the glass.

● Accidentally eat small bones, cover them with napkins, and then take them out.

When you can't help coughing or sneezing, put your face aside and cover it with a napkin.

In the restaurant, except for wiping your face and sweat, everyone else should use napkins. Napkins can't be hung on your chest like a bag.

2. Placement of napkins when leaving the table

When you leave after dinner, wait for the host or lady to put the napkin on the table, and then put the napkin on the table. In addition, napkins are used to wipe dirty things, so when others are still enjoying food, they should not put stained napkins on the table.

Finally, napkins don't have to be folded neatly when you leave the table. The correct way is to put it on the left side of the coffee cup. If you just leave your seat temporarily, you can put your napkin on the seat and don't fold it neatly, which means you just leave temporarily, and then you will return to your seat.

Never fold the used napkins neatly.

One thing is that many people make mistakes. Please don't fold the used napkins neatly when you leave after dinner. Just fold the napkin slightly into a quarter of the size and put it on the left side of the table, or pick the napkin on your leg in the middle and put it on the table. It is ironic to fold the used napkins neatly, which means that you are not satisfied with this restaurant and will not come again, so you must pay special attention after eating!
