General Manners
Punctuality is VERY important when one arrives back then. After one's arrival, one will be accompanied to the dining room. Normally, the host will be the first one of arrive and enter the room. One of the other interesting manners is that one will be greeted with applause and the guest should respond back by applauding. Where one sit is not arbitrary, they are based on rank and is very strict. That is why before the night, a list of all guests should be given to the host for this arrangement. Guests should wait for people to show them their seats and not to their own wish. According to traditions, the right side is for all superiors and the left is for all inferiors. At all formal occasions, people will not start eating either until "the principal host served a portion to the principal guest", or having the principal host holding up his pair of *chopsticks* and telling everyone to begin. Like any other cultures, it is not advised to dig into the dishes for one's own choices of food. Abruptly stopping in the middle could mean your dissatisfaction and the host would have to reflect on himself whether he has done something wrong.
