Sending flowers
JohnB:
Pretty lady!
Previous to my meeting with Jing, I too sent her flowers. The thing is Jing does not like flowers! It turns out she thinks flowers a waste because they can't be eaten. So...when the special occasion arose, I just bought a bunch of carrots, green tops still attached in all their glory, stuck the carrots in a vase and presented it to her. She liked. Thought it was kind of funny. Nice bouquet.. carrots.
Something I read somewhere, but we have to be careful in choosing color in China. I think white may not be a wise choice.

John. I read that also. Here: http://www.jazzviolin.com/china/2007/10/05/china-gifts-chinese-gift-etiquette-gift-ideas-in-china-gift-giving-in-china-gift-taboos/
However, Hongping told me she liked white flowers, and I've seen a bouquet of flowers on her dining room table from time to time. So I knew it was OK to send them to her. I had also asked her about gift giving etiquette a few times in the past. When I go to China, I expect to meet friends and family and wanted to know about the gifts I should get and should NOT get.
