First point: Smoking
In most cases in Myanmar, whether you are talking about business or making friends, especially when women are present, please don’t ask “Can I be here?” Would you like to smoke a cigarette? "Think about it, who would say no, and have to bear the harm of your second-hand smoke? You have to know that in the other person's mind, your image has been greatly reduced.
The best way is to wait until the conversation reaches the end and say to the other party, "Sorry, I'm going out to smoke a cigarette." Find a restroom, finish smoking, feel refreshed, and then come back.
#In this case, business discussions are more rigorous, but making friends can be more casual depending on the situation, just be casual, not too casual.
Second point: Drinking
Burmese people do not encourage people to drink when toasting. Don’t always think about knocking the other person off. When making friends or at business dinners, Burmese people only have a few drinks. Cup, never drink, just a few sips is fine, you always say "Ah Gong Dao" (Burmese transliteration: Cheers, drink it all.) Burmese people can't stand it. In Myanmar, you can get things done without drinking. Please Don't impose your will on others.
The second point: add food
When Burmese people eat, they do not add food to the meal. Occasionally, they also use public utensils to add food. You use the chopsticks that keep poking into your mouth to pick up food for your Burmese friends. You obviously mean well, but in the hearts of Burmese people, it’s not okay to eat or not to eat. It’s so embarrassing. Who knows if you have hepatitis B? Or bring the thick water from the mouth ulcer into my bowl. Even if you are sick or not, if you are a man, and I am a man, I will not eat your saliva. The thought of indirect kissing makes me sick to death.
Chinese people must change this habit. They must change it. They must change it.
The fourth point: blow your nose
Human fantasies are unlimited. If you blow your nose, what if I am drinking thick and sticky soup? How can I bear it?
The editor has a Chinese friend who blows his nose every time he eats. He can’t stand it. I’ve been with him for 5 years and I’ve never mentioned it to him. I really hope there are friends who can Forward this post to him. Stop having to wait for him to finish eating every time he eats.
Also, don’t squeak when you eat, squeak, squeak, it’s really dirty.
