Dilu: What's wrong seeing the food in your mouth
John: Haha, OK, so that's the Chinese thing, but you're saying it doesn't bother you if other people around you are eating like nananana, super loud
Dilu: 啊，其实也不是，it bothers me sometimes
John: So you have sort of a limit, huh?

Dilu: 啊，我知道很多的西方人都会觉得吃饭的时候一定要嘴巴一起来，然后不能有声音，是吗
John: 嗯
Dilu: 啊你们觉得为什么一定要这样做呢
John: Because no-one wants to see what's in your mouth
Dilu: 呵呵
John: Or hear the sound of the food being mashed up in your mouth
Dilu: 啊我觉得啊有一些中国人他们吃饭声音很大，而是就是因为他们吃得香
John: Yeah, like three year olds can do that in our country, but we feel like it's part of a good upbringing, you know, to, to close your mouth when you eat and don't be noisy
