Gift exchange among the Chinese People
Gift exchange is common in personal or business communication. Chinese people often present souvenirs to one another as a reminder of their friendship. Generally they are concerned about the usefulness of the gifts, ranging from daily necessities to other small items. Pears and umbrellas are taboo as gifts to friends. Customarily clocks may, if sent as a birthday gift to aged people, elicit ill feelings.
This was a totally positive experience, and most astonishing was the price. Let's just say that their lessons are incredibly affordable, especially considering you have a live teacher giving you a customized lesson. >> more
"This is an extremely good way to either learn or improve your Chinese. The teachers are very well-qualified, the scheduling is extremely flexible, and the price is unbelievably cheap -- a small fraction for what you would ordinarily have to pay in the US for such high quality one-on-one tutoring. I am recommending it to all of my students."
