Drinking is an essential part of any business dinner in China. It is less about enjoying a "good glass of wine" but much more about establishing interpersonal ties. Therefore nobody ever takes a sip by himself. It is always eye contact with somebody, a toast to thank for the cooperation or the like, and then "gambe" - bottoms up, no matter whether it is the traditional baijou, beer (typically warm) or red wine - yes red wine bottoms up...

Driver licence
Anybody who went through Beijing traffic wonders how do they learn to drive in this environment?
Recently I had the unique hotel window view on a driving practice area. It was amazing to see the cars rolling with about 5km/h throu these curves with no other cars around them. Must say real conditions are perfectly rebuilt here - the ideal preparation for Beijing traffic... (no wonder they drive like this)
