In china is it custom for people to kiss each other when there is a big event (such as a birthday.)?

In China (Mainland) kissing is definately NOT a custom. They have no custom of touching or kissing anyone except their own child. They may kiss the child on the forehead and that is all! They may well be taking advantage of their new freedom and your ignorance!

A kiss is one of thoes things you need to learn from experience. when you find the right pattern the style and what not you will know, its instenct, but a little lip nibbling, and soft kiss are nice, never too much tounge though that is gross

It depends on how much lip we're talking here. You know, like how long the kiss last, is there any tongue involved. If your only friends then a kiss on the lips is like a peck on the cheeks. ANything longer or with tongue is more than just friends.

Nothing special as my hubby and I don't believe we need a special day to show our love to one another. Or a commericial reason to buy something. It is actually our rule to not buy flowers during the months of Feb and May as they jump the price so much as to make it ridiculous..Why does everyone have to have a special day to say I Love You! Should not this be done daily in a relationship? This is a day to make those with no partner feel alone and I think it is so sad to see so many feel like that because so many fall for commericial bulllll.

Yep, that's me ;) It's the best decision I made, marrying my sweetheart who's from the States. I come from a country that's very rich in tradition, and I'm chinese. Since we've been involved, he learnt a lot about my culture and the traditions that we have. Although we still have disagreements in our relationship sometimes, but it's the one thing that brings us closer too. Life will never be boring for us, that's for sure.

Asian families are typically very traditional (i.e. no sex before marriage, must marry within culture, etc). My best friend is Chinese and the only boyfriend of hers that her parents even knew about was Chinese. Don't take it personally-- it's not you, it's her parents' culture.

Top 10 Chinese Holidays Calendar for the Year of the Dog (2006)\nGuide Picks\n\nFrom Rhonda Parkinson,\nYour Guide to Chinese Cuisine.\nFREE Newsletter. Sign Up Now!\n\nChinese New Year may be China’s biggest excuse for a party, but it’s not the only one. There are many Chinese holidays throughout the year, and most have their own special celebration food. Because Chinese holidays are based on the lunar calendar, the date on the Gregorian calendar changes from one year to the next. Here is a calendar with dates and information about the major Chinese holidays and significant days in 2006, the Year of the Dog. \n1) Chinese New Year – January 29, 2006\nFor millions of Asians, Chinese New Year is more than one special day. Families spend weeks preparing for the big event – cleaning house, painting doors and windows red, and cooking special foods. Celebrations for Chinese New Year, also called the Spring Festival, last a full fifteen days. Learn more about Chinese New Year, the symbolic significance of festive foods, and try New Years recipes. (Date of Chinese New Year Day: first day of the first Chinese lunar month).\n2) Lantern Festival – February 12, 2006\nCan’t wait until Valentine’s Day to celebrate with your sweetheart? The Lantern Festival, marking the last day of the Chinese New Year season, is traditionally a day for lovers.

The Tomb Sweeping festival is a time for families to honor the memory of their ancestors. Along with “tomb sweeping” – performing standard gravesite maintenance such as removing debris from the gravestones and replacing dead flowers - family members offer gifts of food, fruit and wine to the departed. After a formal ceremony, the food is shared among family members. Another tradition is to burn incense to ward off any evil spirits that may be lurking.\n5) Cheng Chau Bun Festival – May 5, 2006\nEvery year, Hong Kong's tiny island of Cheng Chau holds a celebration honoring Pak Tai, the God of the Sea. The highlight of the three day festival involves a spectacular midnight race up steel towers that have been loaded with Chinese buns. (Date: the eighth day of the fourth lunar month).\n6) Dragon Boat Festival – May 31, 2006\nThere are few sites more spectacular than a fleet of painted dragon boats racing toward the finish line, with a drummer in each boat hammering out the rhythm for the rowers to follow. The Dragon Boat Festival is China’s oldest festival. Find out more about this exciting event and learn how to make Zongzi, the sticky rice dumplings wrapped in bamboo leaves that are an essential feature of any Dragon Boat Festival celebration. (Date: fifth day of the fifth Chinese lunar month).\n7) Chinese Valentine’s Day – July 30, 2006 (July 31 in China)\nThey may not celebrate with chocolate and flowers, but the Chinese have a day devoted to love.

February 18, 2007  \nYear of the Boar  Pig Hai  \nYear 4705\n\nAnd since we may never encounter one another again...may I be the first to say....HAPPY NEW YEAR!\n\nOn the days before the New Year celebration, Chinese families give their home a thorough cleaning. It is believed the cleaning sweeps away bad luck and makes their homes ready for good luck to arrive. All brooms and dust pans are put away on New Year's Eve so that good luck cannot be swept away. Some people give their homes, doors and windowpanes a new coat of red paint. Homes are decorated with paper cutouts of Chinese auspicious phrases and couplets (short phrases) that speak of "happiness," "wealth," "longevity."

Engagement ceremonies vary tremendously depending on cultural backgrounds and traditions. You'll have to be more specific.

Funny question ;-|) Never thought this was international...\nThis is a camaraderie and good-luck gesture. In many countries the bottom is involved in good-luck (in Italy we say "che culo!" = "what an ass!" to remark an exaggerate fact of good luck).\nNot a foreplay (!!!), as you can see it happens when shower are absent, and for all guys.

A kiss is an extension of your feelings and emotions. Your body automatically responds on it's own when you are really into this person that you are kissing. There is no procedure, just listen to your body and respond to the other person's needs and every kiss, will be the perfect kiss!

Yup! There's no age limit for a first kiss so it's perfectly alright! Hope you have a good one when it comes!
