The question of whether or not to bring a gift often gives guests a headache．In American culture，it's not a must-do thing to bring present．Of course，some people do bring some small gifts like flowers，candies or一if the family has small children-toys．If you choose not to bring a gift，don't worry．No one will even notice．

"Can I bring anything？"If it's not a potluck，where everyone brings a dish，the host will possibly answer，"No，just yourself．"For most informal dinners，you can just wear comfortable clothes．Remember to arrive on time，or call to tell your hosts that you may be late．
During the dinner conversation，it's polite to say the food is nice．After dinner，you can help clear the table or wash the dishes．But since you are the guest，your hosts may not let you．Instead，they may invite everyone to move to the living room to drink some tea or coffee．If the hosts are not smokers，you shouldn't smoke in their house．And，above all，don't go around looking at the house if you are not invited．After about an hour of chat，it's time to say good-bye．You don't want to wear out your welcome．

10．For Schultz，a 77-year-old man，this is a chance of a lifetime．Schultz is part of a group of around 50 Germans who are on a bus journey along the ancient Silk Road．
Speaking of his journey，he says："I have been deeply interested in the Silk Road since I was a child，but now I finally have a chance to experience it．"
The two-month bus journey will take the group through Germany，Russia，and other 4 European countries．They will then enter China from the country's western part．It will be an unforgettable memory for them．
Nearly half of the 13，000-kilometer trip will be inside China．From Xinjiang in the west to Shanghai in the east，the German visitors will see more than 20 Chinese cities．"We have managed the trip of the Silk Road for around 10 years．An increasing number of people，not only from German-speaking countries，have been joining us，"says Liu Guoqiang from China Tours．

As Shi Xiang，head of the China Tours，says，"Being a new brand to attract foreign visitors，the Silk Road is good for people to know more about China，especially the northwestern part of the country．"
