sounds good about the fun part and not worry too much about the culture difference, but I just can't stand serving drinks to a bunch of smoking strangers at dinner table . and for the record, they are now free babysitters so I am not complaining about them that much, but it gets annoying somtimes when people like to force stuff on you, although the in laws actually don't force me to drink or smoke, they force other things, like buying gifts for them all the time, and share, meaning when I eat or buy something, I must do it for them while they are present, this get on my nerves, but it is another topic, generally speaking, they have a hard time understanding why I am so "selfish" and insist on doing things for the face or custom, which I think is not suitable for today's society anyways....but good advices.....

Interesting post by a person who chose "culture" as his handle.

Indeed.
