M: What do you think of the food there?

W: Well, it is really fabulous. But there is something that I’m not accustomed to. People there are always expecting me to eat and I am much fatter now compared to before.

M: They are being polite.

W: I see. I also learned that it’s not polite for the guest to accept the offer of food at first.

M: Yeah, that’s right. If you are the guest, you have to refuse the food offered at the first or second time. If you don’t turn it down and just eat all the food, the host will keep on offering a lot of food until you leave some on your plate. You know, the host knows you are full in that way.

W: Well, in America, we usually eat all the food on the plate because we don’t want the host to think that we don’t like the food.

M: That’s difference.
