hilarious dinner

my family and my parents' friends went out to dinner tonight and towards the end of the meal, they were talking about who would pay for the check. being chinese, they were all arguing over who would pay and when the waiter put the check on the table my dad and the dads from each family actually grabbed for the check (my dad got it). that was the funniest thing i had ever seen in my life. i had heard about this before, but i had never actually SEEN people fight and snatch up a check so quickly. asian courtesy is interesting haha

my family was having dinner with one of my dad's friend's family. They started fighting and the friend eventually sat on the check. Then my dad tries to move him off the chair to get the check and starts grabbing around

thats most cultures not just asian.

different cultures are very interesting, no?

of course I recognize my roots, but in all practicality, I'd let the other party pay :) the other person would probably think, "that cheapo" -- haha; he/she asked for it

when i'm eating someplace with friends and the check comes out, I reach for my wallet even though I have no money in there. I do this because I know someone will eventually claim the check and pay for it.

true, but it is an especially big part of asian culture. hospitality is very important.
