上海，等于说是移民城市嘛。所以说，从各个地方来的人，他们都会把各自的习俗带到上海来。我个人感觉，就是说上海没有一个本身，上海人所特有的一个风俗习惯。都是一些，比如说，浙江人，他们把他们的风俗习惯带到上海来。或者说江苏的，或者说其它地方的。

Shanghai, it's basically a city of immigrants. So people from all different places will bring their own traditions to Shanghai. Personally, I feel that Shanghai doesn't really have any home-grown New Year customs. It's all, for instance, Zhejiang people, they bring their customs to Shanghai. Or maybe Jiangsu people, or people from other areas.

这也不能全怪我们啊，这是风俗习惯不同。在中国，根本不需要付小费，你付的钱里已经包括了服务费。要不是你告诉我，我根本不知道吃饭必须要付小费。

You can't totally blame us for this! This custom is completely different from our own. In China, you don't need to give a tip. The money you pay already includes a service charge. If you didn't tell me, I totally wouldn't know that I have to leave a tip when I eat.
