     A young British woman had shortly arrived in Hong Kong and had not yet [ learned ] anything about the Chinese [ culture ] . One day she went to the home of a Chinese friend and was [ immediately ] given a cup of Chinese tea. She was not [ interested ] ( thirsty ) and she also found this type of tea rather [ bitter ] . However, since she had been given the [ tea ] , she felt she should [ taste ] ( drink ) it. Hoping to finish it [ quickly ] so that she would not feel about having to drink this tea which she did not [ like ] , she started to drink as much of [ tea ] ( it )as she could. But [ as ] ( as soon as ) her cup became half - full, the host [ insisted on ] giving her more. Several times she told the host that she had had [ enough ] , but it seemed to have no [ effect ] . Her cup kept being [ filled ] , and she kept on drinking. During the time of her [ talk ] ( visit ) , she drank about 12 cups of tea. Only later did she find out that she should have just [ left ] the tea, and that this would have meant that she had had enough. Influenced by her [ Western ] culture, she felt it too [ impolite ] to leave the tea and could not [ understand ] why the host took no notice of her protests that she had had enough!
