I am a westerner, I have lived in Guangdong for one and half years and traveled many times since 1999 to China. I will travel to Guizhou for Spring Festival to a small village. My Girlfriend's family I visit is a rural farming family. I know what to expect in terms of the household and facilities. This is fine with me as I grew up in a small humble home in USA. Please share recommended dress for a male. I expect to need something nic for banquets and what is good choice for casual time in company of extended family. I want to respect the family and tradition and elders and fit in as best I can. I expect two sets of grand parents, uncles and aunts and many cousins of my dearest Girlfriend will be there. My thoughts focus on traditional coat, black trousers and shoes. Shirt ? i like buying men's chinese clothes and shoes and find them good for my style. your advice appreciated. One more question, I planned to take gift of two cartons of cigarettes and two bottles of Maotai for father. Do you think these are acceptable? Father does smoke and moderate drink.
