China: food etiquette
- In China, don't flip the fish.
Although you might be used to flipping over a whole fish once you've finished one side, don't — at least not when you're in China, especially southern China and Hong Kong. That's because flipping the fish is dao yue in Chinese, a phrase similar to "bad luck." Plus, says Allen, "to flip the fish over is like saying that the fisherman's boat is going to capsize." The most superstitious will leave the bottom part untouched, while others will pull off the bone itself to get to the bottom. - By: travelkit.msnbc.msn.com
