For No.2, maybe I should change it to " You eat chicken feet and fish head". ;-)

why there is no number 4 and 14? I don't know about this ...

In Chinese, the pronunciations for "4" and "death " are the same. So in general, Chinese people would try to avoid "4". For example, there are no Floor 4, 14 & 24 in my offic building, and people don't like such number combinations as "46" (already dead) or "748" (go to die) in their licenses.

So, feel free to add more if you find something typical about Chinese people & culture which you would like to share or to discuss. :-)

Does this count as another way of knowing your Chinese?
They're also really nice people, and very intelligent too! Out of 5 children they have 3 doctors (i think), and 2 at university. So, intelligence must also be a trait of being Chinese :-)
