[11:26.82]The last reading.
[11:28.91]Food and Culture
[11:31.47]The culture of food and dining in the West
[11:34.35]is a little different from that in China.
[11:37.50]The proper western dinner at a fine restaurant
[11:40.56]is one of manners, focusing on conversation.
[11:44.50]You are expected to have knowledge of table manners
[11:47.42]such as how to use forks or knives
[11:50.47]as these are essential in western dining.
[11:53.48]The meal would consist of several courses
[11:56.43]including a soup or salad, the main dish, and a dessert.
[12:01.18]The atmosphere will be filled with light music
[12:04.61]that would only serve as background
[12:06.70]as people converse with each other.
[12:09.42]The decorations are usually sparse.
[12:12.09]They are only meant to highlight the atmosphere
[12:14.77]that is being created by the music.
[12:17.67]This type of dining is different from the dining experience
[12:21.60]in most restaurants in China.
[12:24.05]However, with the increase in internationalism,
[12:27.76]more restaurants are opening
[12:29.50]which reflect the more western dining style.
