Each person has an invisible boundary (界限) around their body into which other people may not come.Interestingly,the average personal distance varies from culture to culture. Americans tend to require more personal space than in other cultures.

If service is slow or particular bad, some Americans will tip only 10%. If service is particularly good, it is appropriate to tip 20%. If service is so bad that you will never eat in the restaurant again, leave two cents. It tells the waiter that you havent forgotten to leave a tip. Tipping is only appropriate in restaurants which offer table service. You do not tip the cashier in a fast food restaurant.GesturesTo wave goodbye or hello to someone, raise your hand and wave it from side to side, not front to back.
