Last week I got the splash of this special warm team welcome in Chongqing - a true southern feeling team dinner - round table, toasts and a pre-warning that local team values drinking beer - something what in Shanghai or Beijing people really don't want to say out so directly.
15 people around the table, as an only foreigner, everybody had to have a one-to-one bottom up toast with me - minimum amount of toasts for me 14. Luckily Chinese beer is rather light. This kind of many-to-one toasting is actually a common way of testing guests or business partners.
Rather extravaganza food - dancing raw fish.
Pure happiness.
Dinner getting louder, more toasts, shirts getting unbuttoned, one-on-one toasts with each other.
Last toast and off to KTV (karaoke)
