experience expert‏ ---By XiaoGe Yang The cultures of the East and the West have a lot of differences, and greeting is on of them. Here is a story: a friend of mine told me that one day when she finished cooking her dinner, one of her flat mates came into the kitchen. In order to greet him, she said: “ Hi, have you had your meal?”. To her surprise, that man answered: “No, will you cook for me?” This made her feel a little bit embarrassed. This event typically showed the culture differences between the East and the West. Actually in China, “Have you had your meal?” is just the way we greet each other, and it has no other meaning but “How are you?”. However, in western countries, this sentence is not greeting at all. People may think that you are inviting them to dinner if you ask them about their meals. More often than not they just use “Hi!” to greet each other. This event made me notice that sometimes culture differences can cause misunderstanding, and I also felt the importance of understanding another culture.

Culture has been called “the way of life for an entire society, such as manners, dress, language, religion, etc. (WEN) 人文 2. Development or improvement of the mind by education or training. （ HUA) 教化
