I went to China. Hi, I’m back.
I ate food there. And I didn’t get any food poisoning as I am wont to do on vacation. Yeay!

Sometimes this person speaks some English, often not so much. The pictures are helpful for this. Your food is brought to you and is typically meant to be shared among the people at your table.
