Gifts in Chinese Culture
By Wong Yee Lee


Uk Rv Hire
With people, left stranded in locations all around the world thanks to the recent ash cloud its little wonder they might be wary about jetting off abroad again in the future. Perhaps a holiday closer to home would be more appealing and a Uk Rv Hire might be the ideal type of transport. With a Uk Rv Hire you get the both of both worlds; transport to wherever you want to go in Great Britain and your own accommodation once you arrive. Families will find the modern recreational vehicles are fitted out with all of the creature comforts that they will require. A fixed double bed is often found inside the motor homes and another double bed can be located above the driver`s cab. Meals can be cooked in the comprehensive kitchen area and the bathroom has a toilet, washbasin and shower for the comfort of the rv hirers. Consider a Uk Rv Hire this year instead of jetting off abroad and you can discover the many delights that Great Britain has to offer from the comfort of your own motor home. Think about the many people that have been stranded in airports recently and holiday a little closer to home might seem far more appealing.

Chinese people have their own culture when it comes to giving friends or relatives presents.

When it is a new-born baby, usually jade or silver bracelet or necklace would be good, particularly ones which can make the clingingg sound so it will make some noise when the baby moves. Alternatively, some children`s clothes, shoes or gloves would be good too. When it is an older child, some toys or stationary would be good.

Blackpool Stag Weekend
It was a no-brainer really. You were put in charge of your best mate`s stag do and Blackpool is only 30 minutes away. Stag weekends and Blackpool prove to be a match made in heaven and you`ll be able to give your mate a great send-off in this highly popular resort. The Blackpool Stag Weekend will start on Friday afternoon as you all pile in a minibus outside of your mate`s mums. The driver will take you straight to your hotel for the weekend and the fun can begin from here on in. Nightlife is something that Blackpool is famous for and you`ll get to witness all of the hot night spots on the Blackpool Stag Weekend. Bars and clubs beckon and a bevy of beverages can be consumed on Friday evening before your slink off back to the hotel. Come the morning and a hearty English brekkie will soak up the booze ready for your thrilling day of non-stop activities. As well as go-karting you`ll be paintballing nearby and taking to the Pleasure Beach in the afternoon. Then it`ll be more bars and clubs as the Blackpool Stag Weekend storms ahead under full steam. Your mate is never going to forget his super stag weekend in the brilliant coastal resort known as Blackpool.

When it comes to some old people, something practical should be considered. A walking-stick, some valuable food such as bird`s nests or Chinese mushrooms would be highly welcome.

For those who go to visit their prospective parents-in-law, something more valuable would be an option, such as some good wine or something meaningful.

If it is a family, a vase, some dining sets or pictures would be ideal.

It is not easy to think of something special for every occasion. So very often if it is not of any special visits, some fruits such as apples or oranges would be good enough.

It is important to know that giving someone gifts should not be a one-way business. Courtesy requires reciprocity. The person who receives the gift should find a chance in the future to return the same favour by returning a gift of similar value the next time you meet. You can do so simply by either paying a visit with a similar value gift or by inviting the friend out for a meal with you paying the meal. Don`t do it right on the next day because it may appear awkward.

There are also some taboos to avoid in Chinese culture. Though modern Chinese don`t seem to mind them so much, it is still necessary to know what would be suitable in an occasion.

Books would not be welcome in places like Hong Kong or Macau because the pronunciation of `book` in Cantonese resembles the sound of `loss`. Especially for those people who are frequent players in race course or Mark six, they would definitely not welcome this idea.

Umbrellas would not be welcome in most places in China because the pronunciation of `umbrella` resembles separation. Of course nobody would like the idea of separation, particularly concerning your loved ones.

Clocks would not be welcome, particularly on someone`s birthday because the pronunciation of `clock` resembles termination, which means death. No wonder people don`t like receiving clocks as birthday gifts.

If you want to give your friends some fruits, remember to buy an even number of them because odd numbers would bring bad luck. So buy 10 apples instead of 9.

Foreigners may find it awkward when your friend says `You don`t need to buy anything when you come here.`, or `Keep it to yourself. I have a lot of these`. He may not mean it. What you need to do is to insist on him receiving the gift since Chinese people do not tend to receive the gift immediately.

Don`t mind it if he doesn`t open your present immediately too. Chinese people would think opening the present in front of you would be impolite and so they would tend to put it aside and only open it after you have left.

These ideas can only be served as guidelines. Knowing that you come from a foreign culture and being more broad-minded to foreign ideas, Chinese people are nowadays more tolerant to things which are not in line with their culture. So, don`t worry too much when you visit a Chinese friend or family. Maybe your exotic idea would bring them a lot of surprises!!
