Italy (意大利)

    Italian families often get together for a Sunday lunch, which sometimes lasts more than two hours. Grandparents are normally served first, then young children. Italian children are taught to eat spaghetti (意大利面) with forks only. They never touch their hair at table, and they avoid speaking with their mouths full.

Japan

    In Japan, kids use brightly— colored chopsticks to eat at dinner. And they are not allowed to stab (捅) the food or point at anything. When children are punished by adults, they must look down at the floor and avoid meeting the adults' eyes.

Egypt (埃及)

    Egyptian children need to keep both feet on the ground when sitting. Boys and girls are encouraged to wear long clothes that cover the body. An Egyptian child can eat traditional food with only the right hand. The left hand is considered unclean.

South Africa

    In South Africa, before class starts, children stand in two lines outside the door, girls on one side and boys on the other. Girls walk in first, and then the boys follow, and all stand behind their desks. The teacher greets children first. Children reply and then take their seats.
