Kan Pei! by AC1
If you are new to the drinking culture here, here are some good tips that most people not aware of. They might sound very simple, but it is consider important in the local culture especially for those who wants to get business deal done over the dinner table.
Kan Pei = Bottoms Up
Peng Pei = Cheers (a sip or two)
If you mean Cheers, don't simply say Kan Pei and take a sip or two. This will not be taken easily by locals as it is seen as being not sincere having saying one thing and doing the other.
This is especially true to the older generation Chinese but NOT with the younger generation in their 30's or 20's who are more open and westernised.
