I heard recently that after giving birth, women aren't allowed to take a bath or shower. They shouldn't wash their hair for over a month. They shouldn't return to work for nearly 3 months. Very different in the West. I really don't know or understand the rationale or if it's just some kind of tradition. 我最近听说，女性在生完孩子之后不可以洗澡淋浴，一个月不能洗头，近三个月内不能工作。这和西方完全不一样。我真的不明白为什么要有这些规矩，或者这是某种传统。 Boiled water In China, all water has to be boiled before you can drink it. I am not sure why the Chinese do it, but I have heard that it is very good for your digestive system. 在中国，所有的水只有烧开了才能喝。我不明白为什么，但我听说这对人的消化系统比较好。 Drinking Drinking is a part of Chinese culture that I find weird. If you want to create or enhance your network, you have to drink as much as you can. 饮酒是中国文化的一部分，不过我觉得这很奇怪。如果希望增加人脉，或是促进双方的关系，你就必须得大喝特喝。 Red envelope A far more pervasive feature is the red envelope. 红包这个东西更让人匪夷所思。 If you are married to a Chinese you will be surprised by the sheer number of events that give people an automatic right to obtain red money-filled envelopes: |
