Firstly, you’re supposed to eat with chopsticks． It’s rude to eat with your hands． Secondly, you shouldn’t make noise while eating． It’s not polite to do that． Lastly, you shouldn’t point at anyone with your chopsticks． I believe you’ll get used to these table manners, I’ll write again． Hope you’re having a great time in China．
