I'm glad to tell something about Chinese customs when you're invited to have dinner with your Chinese friends. First, you should arrive at his home in advance. In China, we often have a cup of tea and talk for a while with guests before dinner time. Second, you'd better bring asome gifts for your friend. When we visit friends or relatives, we usually bring gifts, which is a traditional habit in China. Also, Chinese friends will be pleased to see that you eat up the food in your bowl. In our culture, it means that you enjoy the dinner. That's all I want to tell you. I really hope you will have a good time with your Chinese friends.

I would like to tell you something about Chinese customs. When you're invited to have dinner by your Chinese friends, first, you should arrive at their home a bit earlier than expected. In China, we often have a cup of tea and talk for a while with the guests before dinner time. Second, make sure ('you'd better' is borderline rude) you bring some gifts for the hosts (the people who invited you to dinner). When we visit our ('our friends' is just like 'wo pengyou' oppose to 'wo de pengyou', more personal) friends or relatives, we usually bring gifts, which is a part of Chinese tradition. Also, Chinese friends will be pleased to see that you've eaten all the food in your bowl. In our culture, it means that you enjoyed the dinner. That's all I wanted to tell you. I really hope you will have a good time with your Chinese friends.0
We have the same custom in Serbia, only we drink coffee instead of tea! :)
