As concerns your ¡°holding capacity¡±, if you expect to have to be around the drinking table, then try to plan this a few days after you have arrived in China, rather than the first day, so that your body is more adjusted to the time difference, the different climate, the different air and food etc. This may seem self-explanatory, but in our drive to spend time productively and in our hurry, we sometimes seem to forget this.

What also helps is to be open-minded and not worry too much in advance. Reading about what is ¡°expected¡± from you will make you feel more at ease, and will give you some tips. It is ALWAYS good for you, if you make your hosts feel that you are interested and have taken the trouble to learn a bit about the ¡°do¡¯s and don¡¯ts¡±. Good reading on this part is the Culture Shock! series of Time-Life books (there is one on most countries). Good luck and Ganbei!¡¯
